New Habitat board members sought

AUBURN — Since the beginning of the affiliate in 1987, Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity has gone through many cycles, as time passed and the people involved changed. Those at AHFH have just entered a new phase, with a great need.

What they are looking for now to ensure that Habitat can successfully support the members and families of Androscoggin and Oxford Counties is some new involvement from community members as additional members for the Board of Directors.

New Board members don't have to be on the nuts-and-bolts of home construction (though they certainly can if they wish). They are looking for new Board members who can meet monthly to help guide the overall efforts for AHFH, and help attract the people and energy needed to ensure a vibrant, sustainable future for the families they serve.

They are looking for experienced, capable individuals who care about the housing needs of low income families, and about making the community a better place for these hard-working men, women and children.

You might be a teacher, a student, a business owner or vendor, a corporate officer, a stay-at-home mom or a retiree. It doesn't matter what you do for a living, what matters is what you are willing to give back to your community. They hope for diversity of experience to help make them stronger.

They will be holding a meet and greet after the quarterly board meeting on Friday, December 14 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce located at 415 Lisbon Street in Lewiston.

Please join in to meet the current board members and learn more about the program and how you can fit. If you would like to join in for the meeting, you may do so also. The board meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

Please contact them at 786-2598 or at Androhabitat@roadrunner.com if you are interested in attending.
