"Lift Your Hammer"
Written by Mark Tesch
"Lift your hammer to the sky, raise your hammer high.
Reach out and help your neighbor, who might be barely getting by.
Nail by nail, blow by blow, we’ll get there if we try.
Reach your hammer to the sky, raise your hammer high.
Lift that wall, and lift your spirits raise the hammer high.
There’s a song in the building, you can hear when you raise your hammer high.
Retirees and high school youth, all raise their hammers high'
Excitement is building, it’s the truth so let’s all raise our hammers high."
Lake Chelan Valley Habitat for Humanity celebrated the dedication and grand opening of their new Thrift Store on Saturday, December 8th, 2007. The new Habitat Thrift Store building was funded by the extremely generous donation of the late Margaret Freer. Habitat’s new store will provide space for an extended assortment of merchandise including clothing, furniture and appliances.
Donors are asked to call Shirly Hunt at 682-7088 for further information and delivery instructions. If you’re looking for a great way to serve your community, give Shirly a call!
