Deerfield Satellite Chapter

Habitat for Humanity of Dane County formed a satellite chapter in Deerfield in 2007. Land for a future Habitat home has been purchased and construction on the home began in May, 2008 and was completed in November, 2008.

Thanks to the following volunteers, donors and contractors for celebrating the next step in the building process: Mike Carlson, HFHDC; Howard and Theresa Smith, AB Electric; Village Officials Dean Otte and John Matthews; Randy Mergen of Mergen Plumbing; Dan Anderson, Habitat Deerfield; Eric Nelson, Nelson Young Lumber; Sigurd Bringe, Bank of Deerfield; and Deb Vande Watering, Habitat Deerfield.

 

Recent fundraising events for the Deerfield Satellite of Habitat for Humanity - Dane County:

• A successful raffle initially generated $3,700, but subsequently generated more funds as some of the winners donated all or a portion of their winnings back to Habitat.  The drawing was held at the Cuda Café.
• Income was also generated through a donation from the owners of Schuster’s Playtime Farm, who partnered with Habitat during their fall festivities.
• We received our first corporate gift of $5,000 over a three year period from the Bank of Deerfield.

Deerfield Committee members: Arlyn Turnquist, Chris Schomber, Tracy Frank, Ann Selje, Ron Knapwurst, Deb VandeWetering, Eric Nelson
