Habitat For Humanity Mountain View Chapter's (HFHMVC) open house proved very successful, according to Amy Christiansen, the group's family services chair.
About 20 people attended the gathering, held Feb. 9 at the Olds Municipal Library.
One goal of the meeting was to recruit new members.
"One community member has offered to fill the position of fundraising chair," Christiansen says. "At this moment we are still in need of a board chair and marketing chair."
Peter Braithwaite, the HFHMVC chair, is retiring this year.
Christiansen also notes one person indicated interest in serving as the project manager for the first of two new duplexes the group plans to build in Olds over the next couple of years. A few people indicated interest in offering bids as subtrades for the project.
Plans call for the first of those two projects to begin this spring and be completed this fall.
Christiansen says a few new subcommittee members stepped up to help recruit and select families who could move into the new homes.
The Olds High School Interact Club has invited Christiansen to speak during one of its meetings on how the club can help raise awareness of and funds for the project.
About 20 people attended the gathering, held Feb. 9 at the Olds Municipal Library.
