Building Trades: Adamsville
Maintenance, Rich Scagliotta
Rich Scagliotta has provided his excavating services for our
homes in Manville, Bernardsville and now for the 4 homes we are
building in Franklin Township. For the Bernardsville project,
Rich solicited discounts on quarry materials and a waiver of
soil dumping fees from Tilcon. He also donated topsoil and mesh
to protect the grass seed in Bernardsville. Rich and his staff
helped us get all of the underground utilities and the drywells
installed within the limited space in front of the Bernardsville
homes.
Community Builder Award:
Hunterdon/Somerset Assoc. of Realtors
The Hunterdon/Somerset Association of Realtors (HSAR) has
supported RVHFH for 10 years, featuring RVHFH as part of their
events so that their membership and support organization will
offer services to Habitat. In addition HSAR applies to their
state
organizations and affiliate groups for grants for our affiliate.
We are grateful to Executive Director, Kathy Picardo, her staff
and the association for their ongoing and generous support.
Construction Partner: Foley, Inc.
Foley, Inc. has gone well beyond their initial commitment as
Signature Sponsor for our Girard Avenue project. Not only are
they funding half of two homes and providing work crews on-site,
they are also providing both their expertise and the use of
their Caterpiller construction equipment on the project. Their
generosity is saving us money and shortening the construction
time for these 4 homes. We are so grateful for Foley’s
involvement as a vital partner on the Girard Avenue project.
Fundraising Partner: John DiNizio
For 3 years, John DiNizio led the Hunterdon/Somerset Association
of Realtors golf outing to benefit RVHFH, raising up to $11,000
each year. In 2007, HSAR was unable to hold their traditional
golf outing, so in a short time, John and a few other Habitat
supporters put together a very successful outing at Royce Brook,
clearing almost $5,000.
Fundraising Partner: Dr. Jodi
Dinnerman
Jodi Dinnerman owns the LightSource Family Wellness Center in
Lebanon, NJ. For 2 years she has promoted the work of RVHFH by
donating her consultation fee for new clients to RVHFH. She also
encourages her clients to make donations to our program. Jodi
held 2 fundraisers for Habitat in 2007, donating the proceeds to
RVHFH.
Fundraising Partner: Brian Jannone
Brian Jannone heads the Jannone Team for Prudential New Jersey
Properties in Martinsville. For over 4 years this realty office
has made a donation to RVHFH for every real estate closing they
complete. They promote the work of Habitat for Humanity with
every client. Brian and his associates donate over $1,000 per
year to support our program.
Good Neighbor: Art Satterwhite
Art Satterwhite has been our good neighbor and friend on Girard
Ave. in Franklin Township. Art has given us water and offered
access to his electrical outlet. He also keeps an eye on the
property and keeps us informed of the concerns of other
neighbors in relation to the project. Art, we thank you for
your kindness and generosity.
Housing Ministry: United Reformed
Church
RVHFH was originally organized by a committee from the United
Reformed Church. Beginning in 1992, the Church donated space for
us to use as a home base. For 15 years the church has supported
our steady growth, allowing us to use additional rooms for our
many activities and events. In 2007 the church approved our
request to upgrade a large classroom for our much needed
additional office space. We are grateful to URC for giving us a
home, so that we can provide homes for others.
Municipal Partnership: Vince
Dominach
Vince has been an exceptional liaison for RVHFH within the
municipality of Franklin Township. He has helped to pave the way
for 13 new homes, working to expedite the approval process so
that Habitat can provide housing for those in need. Vince is a
true community partner – with his guidance we have moved our
Franklin Township projects forward in record time. We are
grateful for his dedication to advancing the cause of affordable
housing in Franklin Township.
Municipal Partnership: Franklin
Township
Since 1998 the staff and elected leaders of Franklin Township,
Somerset have partnered with our Habitat affiliate in providing
affordable housing. We have received variances, zoning and
building approvals for 15 homes and 5 additional sites have been
identified for new homes. To date, 7 Habitat homes have been
built in Franklin Township and 4 are under construction.
Franklin Township was the first municipality to have a
developer’s agreement with our affiliate and to draw upon their
trust funds for our projects. We are grateful to Mayor Brian
Levine and the township council and staff for their steadfast
support.
Professional Service: Mike Ligorano,
Norris McLaughlin & Marcus
Mike stepped in as a pinch hitter on our Bridgewater project to
help us obtain our final approvals, assembling a team of young
attorneys to work on our projects under his guidance and
direction. He has championed our cause and led us through the
complex legal course of action that enables us to negotiate,
purchase and develop land to build homes for our partner
families. His contribution to our success has been truly
priceless.
