(photo/submit- ted) HENSALL — The Kinsmen Club of Hensall and District has once again lived up to its motto of "sup- porting the community's greatest needs." The club's interest in the Habitat for Humanity project in Huron County has been strong ever since the idea was con- ceived last fall. The Kinsmen Club of Hensall sent representatives from their club to each of the initial Habitat meetings held last fall. Each time, club members expressed their willingness to be involved and to help. That commitment took the form of a financial contri- bution that was approved at the May meeting. President Steve Knight welcomed Chuck Mallette from Habitat for Humanity Huron County to speak at the May Kin meeting. An overview of the Habitat concept and the project was presented to the group, followed by a question period. Subsequently, club discussion took place and a motion was passed approving a contribution to the fledgling project in the amount of $1,500. Treasurer Marvin Taylor will present the cheque, which repre- sents a major contribution to the effort to establish more affordable housing in Huron County. Paul Dyck, chairperson of the Habitat Huron County project steering committee was delighted. "This repre- sents a major shot in the arm for us and enforces our belief in the willingness of Huron County people and organizations to get involved in Habitat," Dyck stated. The goal is to establish a solid, long-term organiza- tion with an impact on Huron County housing needs that will have long-term sustainability. Habitat for Humanity Huron County is a non-profit, independent housing program dedicated to the elimi- nation of poverty housing by building in partnership with families in need. The Kinsmen Club of Hensall has a long history in the area of providing funding, human resources, ideas and energy which serve to make the community a bet- ter place to live. The club works hard to ensure the ideals of Kin Canada are met. The mission statement of the organization states that "Kin Canada is a dynamic volunteer organization enriching our communities through service while embracing national pride, positive values, personal development and lasting friendships." Kin Canada is an all -Canadian service organization made up of active community volunteers. Working together, members are enhancing the quality of life in their communities by promoting service, fellowship, positive values and national pride. Kin clubs support cystic fibrosis (CF) research and fund local projects across the country.
