Gary & Karin Blonigan recognized
Gary and Karin Blonigan were nominated by IHHFH for National Philanthropy Day on November 15th.  The Blonigans once served on the Habitat Board of Directors for 6 years. Gary was on the Construction and Personnel committees, while Karin served on the development and volunteer committee. Once their board terms were up, they haven't stopped volunteering. To this day, Gary and Karin are still very active with Habitat. Karin has been active with the annual Spring Benefit & Auction for 9 years, and Chair for 5 yrs. She has used her passion and knowledge of Habitat to help secure donations and auction items that raises $40,000 annually. Gary continues to volunteer on the construction sites weekly.
