KERRVILLE, TEXAS, September 15, 2008 — The Hill Country Charity Ball Association, Inc.,

(HCCBA) celebrating its 23rd year supporting Kerr County charities, is proud to announce that Habitat

for Humanity Kerr County (HFHKC) has been selected as the beneficiary of the 2009 Hill Country Charity Ball.

Habitat for Humanity Kerr County, a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is an ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to partnering with God and community volunteers to provide qualified families the opportunity to own decent, affordable homes. HFHKC has proudly served our community since 1989 and is nearing completion of house number 80.

Habitat for Humanity is requesting $60,000 for engineering costs associated with the development of 12.46 acres at the corner of Legion and Meadowview which will ultimately yield approximately 56 lots. Habitat for Humanity generally completes 5 to 6 homes per year, but their current inventory is only 3 lots.
