doing everything from fixing the truck to installing
doorbells.
Between January

Fulsang has volunteered over 70 hours as a Crew Leader
10 times in January & February. Keep it up,

There were 55
individual volunteers
working at the Seattle Habitat office during 1998.
This group of volunteers contributed 1,345 hours
in 1998, which roughly equals one part-time
employee!
During the Blitz
Build in September, 1998, volunteers representing 35
different organizations, individuals, and homeowners
built 4 homes in 8 days.
Over 400 volunteers worked more than 10,000 hours
building these homes.
In addition to
groups working at the Blitz Build, 86 different
organizations and hundreds of individuals worked at South
Park and
Lexington Place to help Habitat homeowners build their
dreams.
These groups contributed over 8,648 volunteer
hours!
**Figures for volunteer hours were
calculated from site sign-in sheets, office sign-in
sheets, and committee minutes. These numbers are
conservative estimates, and actual contributions are
considerably larger. Thanks to Habitat staff and office
volunteer Ellen Gordon for compiling this list.
