Blitz Build on Agenda for Rotary

Tara Franey, Director of Development and Communications for Habitat for Humanity-Detroit, was the guest speaker at the Monday, July 14, luncheon meeting of Rotary of Grosse Pointe. Tara related the history of Habitat, stressing that Jimmy Carter did not found Habitat but that he is certainly Habitat's most known supporter. She also discussed Habitat's ReStore on Mack. Tara announced this year's "Blitz Build": seven houses in seven days, beginning Sept. 23. Rotary of Grosse Pointe is partnering with the Habitat team from Grosse Pointe Memorial Church. The Grosse Pointe and Detroit Rotary clubs are also purchasing the windows for the seven homes. Above, with Tara following her presentation, is Rotary of Grosse Pointe President Jon Gandelot.
