Topeka Elementary 2012 Christmas Program Hometown Treasure photos New LCHFH Partners Three LaGrange County families are receiving an extra present under their trees this holiday season. Lavern and Angie Petersheim and their seven children, William Dingley and his four children, and Josh and Noreen Miller and their four children have all signed letters of intent to work with LaGrange Habitat For Humanity. The LaGrange County Habitat chapter hopes to complete homes for two of the families during the 2013 calendar year. One home is slated to be a new, stick-built home, while the other will be an existing home renovated to LCHFH new-home standards under the Neighborhood Revitalization Program. The three families will participate in educational sessions relating to home-ownership and budgeting. They will acquire sweat equity hours working with other building programs. Finally, they will participate in building or renovating their future home. The Hometown Treasure · January ‘13 · pg 37
