The ceremony is scheduled for 3 p.m. on-site at 216 Mary Street in Berea and will include remarks from Dr. Larry Shinn, College President, and Rev. Lee Morris, campus minister and advisor for the Berea College Habitat Chapter. The $40,000 project was set in motion by the efforts of Morris and Madison County Habitat Chapter director Guy Patrick.

The house keys, a maintenance manual, a hammer and a Bible will be presented to the Joe Lewis family, the house recipients, during the ceremony. The Lewis family worked with other project volunteers to complete their four-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath ranch-style house. Students from Berea, Mary Washington and Macalester Colleges and the University of Illinois, College faculty and staff, an Americorps group and others began building on the site in March 2000.

All funds for the build were raised through various fundraisers and contributions from College faculty and staff, retirees, alumni, friends of the College, clubs and organizations and Berea's student body.
