According to a wise old Greek Proverb…

“A society grows great when old men plant trees they know they will never sit under,”

The Carpenters Club is not all old men, nor is it all men. But it is people who help make this society greater with their constant efforts on behalf of low income families in Essex County New Jersey. Members of Carpenters Club come from Newark and from a host of towns in the area. Habitat for Humanity Newark is proud of the work they do and appreciates each of them.

This hardworking group of men and women has worked building houses at Habitat Newark every Wednesday and often many of them work additional days each week. They do a lot of the tougher jobs and the more complicated jobs in building decent, quality homes. They also help supervise and instruct volunteers. Many of them are qualified supervisors.

This year at the Raising Roofs Gala we saluted and honored all of them and we thanked them for their continued work and support of the mission.
