98 Winter '99 Issue 1.99 President's Corner 1998 has been a year of wonderful growth for HFH of Greater Bridgeport. All of these are positive signs of a banner year. From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to everyone who has contributed to our cause in 1998. 1999 promises to be another year of opportunity as we seek to alleviate poverty housing through building simple, decent and affordable houses which will be owned by Habitat families.
Plans are under way to build on nine sites in the east side, east end and west side of Bridgeport.
Sponsors are being solicited to provide the financing and labor for each of these sites, and families are eagerly anticipating completing their hours to become eligible homeowners. Excitement is in the air as we anticipate the year to come. With the exception of one change, the leadership of the Board of Directors will remain the same in 1999 adding stability and continuity to our mission. This is a strong leadership team, and I'm excited to be working with this group of outstanding individuals. We want to thank Maria Valle for her year of service as 2nd Vice President this past year.
