Members of all 36 chapters in the KU greek community will work on the house starting today.

Although construction will not begin until this afternoon, work on the project began when Sarah Heimovics, Panhellenic Association vice president for community service and philanthropy, came up with the idea in 1997. Jason Williams/KANSAN "I had every confidence that it would work out, but the fact that it's starting is just incredible," said Heimovics, Fairway senior. "It's really the most rewarding thing to be a part of." Since then, the greek community raised about $40,000 through donations and events, including a garage sale, bowl-aathon and a concert. "There's definitely some students who've been the leaders," Godderz said. "There haven't been any chapters that haven't donated time and money." Linda Klinker, Habitat for Humanity program director, said the students involved had been particularly helpful by raising the money for the project. She said Habitat for Humanity usually took the responsibility for fund raising. "They are amazing, these kids." she said. "When a group Dave Baldwin is the head of construction at the site.

Matt Shapiro, Edina, Minn., freshman, will be working six shifts on the house during the next two weeks. "I think it's a really great idea," he said. "I guess I'm the handman of the the house, so I said I'd do it. It should be fun. Hopefully, we'll all work well together and get it done." Heimovics said it was easy to get wrapped up in the fund raising and planning of the event and to overlook what it was actually for. "There's actually a house going up," she said. "In two weeks, it will be a house, and somebody will actually be living in it. That's why we're doing it." - Edited by Chris Hopkins Habitat family prepares to move into new home Continued from page 1A single parent with one income." She said she was planning to move in by Nov. 15 — just in time for a Thanksgiving get-together with other family members. Presswood, who works at Sallie Mae, 2000 Bluffs Drive, will be required by Habitat for Humanity to make house payments and put in hours working on her own house and other houses. Presswood said the greek house directors would help her decorate the interior of the house when it was completed. "It will be wonderful paying rent on something that's mine," she said. "It's an investment. I'm looking forward to the challenge." Effie Presswood Presswood said she and her daughters were constantly smiling and talking about their plans. They also make visits out to the site where their home will be. "It will be wonderful paying rent on something that's mine." Jennifer, a ninth-grader, said she planned to hang up lots of basketball posters and Kiera said she would have hooks on her wall for her coat and her backpack. The girls have not been allowed to hang such things on their thin apartment walls. house recipient "The greeks are just great for making this possible," Presswood said.
