HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
– MIDDLE EAST – JORDAN
Habitat Jordan
25 For 25 Campaign
A Special Thank You To Our Donors
| At the 25th Anniversary Celebration, Master of Ceremonies John Stephenson (L, ’96) announced the fundraising success of the
campaign to fund 25 homes with
Habitat-Jordan. Following are his
dedication remarks.“Among the more noteworthy efforts
associated with this 25th Celebration is
a fundraising effort that came about
as plans were being made for the
25th. In June 2004 a small group
of METS alumni led by Susan and
Bill Garrett (L ‘01) arrived in Jordan
to build a home in partnership with
Habitat for Humanity Middle East
Jordan. Upon the Garrets’ return, an
idea began to emerge in concert
with early plans for the celebration of
the METS 25th Anniversary. |

Why not
invite the friends of the METS program
to reach for something bigger that
more accurately measures the
impact the METS program has had
on the 750 individuals who have
participated over the last 25 years? Why not “give back” in a tangible
way to a region that has shown METS
travelers such warm and generous
hospitality – in good times and in
bad? Why not develop further a
partnership with an organization
poised to make a tremendous
impact in the very countries we
have so faithfully visited? And, most
important, why not honor the leadership
of those who created this
experience at the same time?
So...
To Pat Pattillo – our benefactor and
visionary, whose inspiration and financial
support makes the program possible.
To Max Miller – our architect and
leader, whose intellectual curiosity,
passion for teaching, and love of
the “land that he has shown us” has
shaped every facet of every mile of
every year.
To Jerry Mattingly - whose ten year
tenure as a METS leader helped
introduce 200 alumni to the wonders
and mysteries of the Middle East.
We dedicate these houses. |
