Habitat's annual dinner dance fundraiser gathered 69 people for dinner and dancing at the Lake of the Woods clubhouse March 27. In addition to the usual food and great music from the Big Band of Fredericksburg, the group was treated to a surprise presentation to longtime organizer and promoter of Habitat, John Henry. State Senator Edd Houck from the 17th District read the resolution passed by the Virginia State Senate acclaiming the long history, dedication, and fundraising accomplishments of Mr. Henry. John was pretty stunned, but was not made speechless! He took the opportunity to describe the happiness generated for Habitat homeowners and to ask the crowd to continue to work for Habitat and its goal of creating affordable housing for low income families. Henry, at left, is flanked by Houck and Cindy Reid. Habitat for Humanity would like to thank everyone that helped to make this event a success.
