Welcome Partner Family #20

Crow River Habitat for Humanity is happy to announce our newest partner family, Cory Klassen, Carmen Cameron and children Tanner and Cole.   Carmen and her fiancée Cory are looking forward to the experience of being a partner family with Habitat and building their own home.
 
Cory grew up in Stewart/Hutchinson area and graduated from McLeod West. He currently works in Cokato in shipping and handling at Pengo Corporation.  Carmen is from Black River Falls, WI and has been a Hutchinson resident for 17 years. Carmen worked as a cosmetologist until she retired in 2009 due to a disability. Tanner will be graduating in June from Hutchinson High School and Cole is currently in eighth grade at Minnesota Connections Academy.
 
Carmen and Cory had been looking for affordable, handicap-accessible housing and were not having luck finding what they needed or could afford. Carmen was talking to Jeanne Ibbitson and asked her about the Habitat program. She knew Jeanne was a Habitat homeowner. Jeanne encouraged them to apply for a home.
 
The Cameron-Klassen family is excited to think that this fall they will have a house to call home.   Their new home will be located at 1228 Knight Av., Glencoe, MN. Come meet the Carmeron-Klassen family at the location of their future home. Help them celebrate with a Ground Blessing/Ground Breaking Ceremony at the property on May 1, 2011 at 1:30 p.m.
