Habitat for Humanity/84 Lumber Classic
By Amy (Mrs. Brett) Quigley

Hammers, hard hats and toolbelts: not what most would expect a group of PTWA members to be wearing during a tournament week. But Tuesday, September 13 during the week of the 84 Lumber Classic, there were buses full of tool-toting women heading out to a Fayette County Habitat for Humanity homesite in nearby Uniontown, ready to lend a hand to the Louis Gregor family to build a new place to call their own.

Within just a few hours, the walls were up, the roof was on, and a house stood where earlier there had been just a concrete slab. Accompanied by PGA TOUR player Jerry Kelly, who sits on the board of his local Habitat for Humanity chapter in Wisconsin, the group of volunteers, both from the PTWA and from the Nemacolin Ladies League, had helped bring a dream to reality.

Our hammers, hard hat and toolbelts had been generously donated to us by 84 Lumber. When we were done, all of the equipment was collected and the PTWA made arrangements to send the it to the hurricane stricken Gulf Coast Region where this type of equipment was much needed to help in the rebuilding process.

Many thanks to Habitat for Humanity and to the 84 Lumber Classic for organizing this wonderful day of work. All the volunteers had a great time, and we hope to take part in another Habitat for Humanity project during the 2006 84 Lumber Classic.
