Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 was a very special
day for me!  I was able to physically participate
in my first Habitat for Humanity project with
several other women who are members of the
Charleston Trident Home Builders Association. 
Tori Stein, of Atlantic Builders Inc. and the
past president of the CTHBA, invited several
of us (ladies) to lend a hand at this year's
Women Build 2010 for the Sea Island Habitat for Humanity home for the Martinez family.  Donned
with a hard hat, safety glasses and hammer, we
worked through the rain and made many new
friends.  It was such a GREAT experience and
I will definitely be participating again in the near
future.  To find out more information about the
