Darla just graduated from Ellsworth Community College with an AS in Business Administration and an AA in Liberal Arts.  She has been working on our office paperwork and computer tasks to help us get ready for our build.
We just can't wait to get the paperwork done on the land  we've chosen in Iowa Falls so we can put together our schedule to build and have a groundbreaking so you can meet the family and other volunteers.

July 15th was the
groundbreaking
for the Brockman's lot
at the corner of
Stevens & Pierce Streets
in Iowa Falls.
Darla graciously
welcomed 45 people
to her future home.
