West County Churches will be building one of 27 houses that Habitat for Humanity St. Louis is constructing in the JeffVanderLou (JVL) neighborhood this year. Our house is at 3147 Sheridan Avenue. We are part of Phase 2 which begins with a blitz July 9 through 12, and continues on Wednesdays and Saturdays until the dedication on October 25. As a matter of fact, the Wednesday crew is already hard at work now. They are the reason we start our blitzes at the subfloor, rather than a hole in the ground.

This blog will allow all of us to communicate at a central point, post photos, make suggestions, etc.

Our house leader once again is Henry Dayringer, assisted by Don Boekemeier.

Susan McConnell and Michael Turley from Salem will be co-family partners.

Here are the volunteer coordinators:

Cris Heffernan, Bonhomme Presbyterian

Patrick Goertzen, Green Trails United Methodist

Barb & Terry Zenser, Manchester United Methodist

Steve Adams, Salem-in-Ladue United Methodist

Jan Carver, Webster Groves Presbyterian
