The great news is six families moved into homes in 2008…and all before Christmas! Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, these
families celebrated the season in a new home. We will celebrate the success of our volunteers', sponsors' and donors' efforts in April at the Habitat Celebrates Homes event. The evening celebration will be held Tuesday, April 21st at the Victoria College Student Center at 6:00 pm. Join us as we toast our fabulous bank of supporters and look into the 2009 construction year

How do you recognize and thank volunteers who work every Saturday, crawling out of bed early to help build a
house for someone else? How do you thank a volunteer board member who devotes 10 hours a week to committee
meetings and governing tasks all while working a regular full-time job? Habitat leaders have asked those
same questions. The answer is a newly developed program that will provide the opportunity to track and reward
volunteers for the many hours they serve to further our mission.
The Hard Hat Society is a volunteer recognition system that recognizes all volunteers, from construction
volunteers to committee members, for the hours they serve and for the services they provide. As volunteers
accrue hours in the various areas of service they will be recognized, via, what else - a hard hat!
After a volunteer works 25 hours, they will be awarded a Habitat for Humanity, Victoria hard hat. All new
Hardhat Society inductees will be recognized at the next Habitat Celebrates Homes event, though awardees
will be notified of their hard hat status as their hours are completed throughout the year. After receiving
a hard hat, volunteers will receive a sticker to place on it for every 50 hours of service they donate to Habitat.
The idea behind the program is to thank volunteers and provide them with a visual representation of the service
they contribute to the Victoria community and the families of Habitat.
