Another Reason to Celebrate!
July 6, 2010
Through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, Fauquier Habitat was able to purchase and renovate a townhome for a waiting Habitat Family. On the morning of June 5th, volunteers, friends and family members joined the Reese Family to celebrate the Dedication of their new home. They expect to move in during the month of July. The Summer of 2010 has been a season to celebrate!

A Dedication is Celebrated!
June 5, 2010
It was a a great day for a Celebration! On Saturday, June 5th, more than 75 people came together to celebrate the Dedication of the first duplex at the Sterling Court development. The Campbell/Harris family and Davis family were thrilled to finally have this day arrive. For six years, these two familes have waited for a Habitat Home. Construction of the next duplex is expected to start in July 2010.

Final Push to Finish First Sterling Court Duplex
May 12, 2010
The first duplex of Sterling Court is nearing completion - the goal is to have it finished by Memorial Day weekend. The dedication of the new homes, planned for June 5, is a stirring, inspiring event that honors the spirit and hard work of the homeowners and volunteers. Please join us then to celebrate the joy and success the homes will bring!
There is still plenty to do before we're ready for that, though: We need your help in order to complete these homes! The next few weeks are pivotal to their completion, so please, come to Sterling Court on Saturdays and Wednesdays to lend a hand. Work will start at 8:30 am and lunch will be provided; directions are in the article below.
We are so grateful for all the time and effort the volunteers have put into the duplex. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed!

Progress Continues at Sterling Court
January 29, 2010
The new homes at Sterling Court are building toward completion, thanks to all the people who have contributed to the cause at the job site or elsewhere.

Volunteers are always welcome! You can help out at Sterling Court on Wednesdays from 8:30 to noon and Saturdays from 8:30 to 4, weather permitting. Super-Volunteer cape and insignia not included, though that's who you are in the eyes of the homeowners-to-be! And in our eyes - our volunteers are our heroes.

Directions to the site are as follows:

From 29 heading towards Warrenton, take the Meetze Road Exit
Turn towards Old Town Warrenton on Meetze Road
Take a right onto Walker Drive
Take a left onto Academy Hill (the 3rd left)
Sterling Court will be on your left, just before the ball park. Drive all the way down Sterling Court, you may park along the curb or in the cul-de-sac.

If you are driving thru the Town of Warrenton, pass the post office and turn left on 6th Street. Keep going straight (thru the 4-way stop sign) and down the hill. After passing the ball park on the right, turn right onto Sterling Court Drive.

Hope to see you there, Super-Volunteer!

The First Sterling Court Duplex Begins
December 1, 2009
With building permits finally in hand, the footers for the first duplex at Sterling Court were poured this afternoon. We hope to have the foundation complete by early next week and begin framing on December 12th - weather permitting. This is a huge step forward for this 14 family subdivision that has been over 7 years in the planning.

Horses for Houses Event a Big Success!
October 26, 2009
Despite the need to move to our rain date, the Horses for Houses Fall Festival and Horse Show was a big success! Many folks came out to enjoy the beautiful weather and watch the horses and riders in action. Vendors sold great crafts, Women Build offered baked goodies and hot meals, and the kids enjoyed face painting, homemade horse swings, and even painting a beautiful Arabian horse named Chris.
We would like to thank everyone that participated--sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and everyone who attended. All proceeds from the day will go directly to help us build homes in Warrenton this year. Thank you for your support!
