HL 2010 Class Project Update

The Hancock Leadership Class of 2010 has selected its class project.Our class will be providing financial support to Habitat for Humanity of Findlay/Hancock County, Inc. so that they can refurbish and improve the West Park Playground, located at 1425 Byal Avenue on the west side of Findlay. This playground is located in a neighborhood of 850 families that will eventually include a total of 13 Habitat for Humanity single-family homes.

The project has been divided into 2 phases. Phase I includes building a new play set, and installing signage and benches. The budget for this phase is $16,000. Our class has elected to provide the necessary funding for Phase I.

We hope that you or your company will consider a gift to help make this community service project successful. Please watch your mail for additional information and a donation form.

Passing of two HL graduates

I presume that most of you are aware of the recent loss of two or our HL Alums, Joe Ballega and Jim Thomas. Joe was a graduate of the class of 1989.He also served on the HYL Board as the secretary from 2007-09.Jim was a graduate of the Class of 1986.

HLAA decided to make a memorial contribution in lieu of flowers.

For Joe, per the family's request, HLAA is making a $50 donation to Hancock Youth Leadership.

For Jim, per the family's request, HLAA is making a $50 donation to Bridge Home Health and Hospice.

We will also honor each of them at our annual holiday party.
