Thanks to everyone who participated in the First Annual Blueprints & Bow Ties.  Attendees enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, and cocktails and participated in a live auction that help raise more than $18,000 that will help eliminate poverty housing in Watauga County. We are looking forward to making this an annual event and can't wait until next year.

"It's a miracle in action. It's a good environment and a good experience. I was working on a (Habitat) home before we were even approved. I would have continued to work even if we were turned down because I've seen what it does."
