Habitat for Humanity - 84 LUMBER Classic
By Heather Crane

The PTWA members participated in their second Habitat for Humanity building project in Farmington, Pennsylvania. The tournament, the 84 LUMBER Classic, put together a well-organized day with specially made T-shirts, hard hats and aprons so that we were ready to go and help finish a home for the Sewell family, who were selected in July to receive the latest 84 LUMBER sponsored Habitat home.

For the first time in twelve years, Thelma Sewell, a single mom, and her three children, will not be living in a Pershing Court housing project. The family was so grateful and excited that it was a joy just to be around them. Construction on the 1,500 square foot home began on Sunday morning and was constructed in record time - a goal of 50 work hours in recognition of 84 LUMBER's 50th anniversary.

PTWA members helped put some of the finishing touches on the home Tuesday afternoon, rolling out sod in the yard, screwing on outlet covers, hanging a light fixture, as well as other trim work. Over 100 local volunteers, who partnered with over a dozen local contractors, had come together to make this project a reality and the Sewell family was handed the keys to their new home at the pro-am dinner held on Tuesday evening. It was a great day and a wonderful opportunity for the PTWA to get involved in making a difference for such a well-deserving family.

Many thanks to the 84 LUMBER Classic for allowing us to participate in this wonderful project!
