Daviess County Habitat for Humanity met
Oct. 26 at their office on the corner of E.
Nat’l Highway and S.W. First Street.
Old business included discussion about
two new build sites donated by Doug Camp-ton
located in Washington and one site in
Elnora donated by Barbara Waggoner. At the
last meeting, acceptance of the Elnora site
was tabled until it was determined whether
or not it was located in the new flood plain.
At the October meeting the motion to accept
the donation was passed since it does not sit
in the new flood plain. The possibility of
dividing it into two lots was also discussed
but not resolved.
It was decided Habitat would submit an
entry for the Christmas Parade set for Nov.
28.
The decision to start accepting applications
for the 2010 build was also approved. Any
Daviess County resident desiring to submit
an application for Habitat house can pick up
an application form at the Daviess County
Chamber of Commerce, the Washington
mayor’s office, the Washington Post Office
or it can be downloaded from the Daviess
County Habitat for Humanity Web site at

Deadline for submitting applications is
Jan. 15, 2010. Qualifications for applicants
can be found on the Web site. DCHH has
build sites available in Washington, Plainville
and Elnora.
The current project on N.E. 15th and E.
Van Trees streets in Washington is pro-gressing
as expected.
The exterior is nearly finished with the
completion of the siding and builders are
ready to start on the interior once the wall-board
delivery is made.
Volunteers are always needed for con-struction.
Work is done every Tuesday and
Thursday beginning at 4 p.m. All interest-ed
people are welcome. Construction expe-rience
