Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns honored as "Volunteer of the Year" at the Salvation Army fundraiser on Saturday, March 5, 2011.

"I've never seen a lady who could make as many men do what she wants," Captain David Leonard said of Construction Manager Eliza Evans at The Salvation Army's annual dinner on March 5.

Eliza accepted the "Volunteer of the Year" plaque that The Salvation Army awarded Habitat for our partnership with their organization last Fall. With donated shingles and labor, Habitat was able to repair the roof of the Army's food storage building through the "A Brush With Kindness" program.

Captain David commented on the efficiency of Eliza, as well as his gratitude for Habitat's help with the project.

Eliza noted that it was an honor to be given the recognition.

"Habitat is a newer organization, and it is great to partner with a program as well established as The Salvation Army," Eliza said. "We greatly appreciate the recognition."
