Habitat founder coming to Gainesville

GAINESVILLE - Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity, will be in Gainesville this weekend for a number of appearances.

Fuller will help dedicate a Habitat house on Morrow Drive in Flowery Branch Saturday at 4 p.m.

In addition, he will be the featured speaker Saturday night at a fund-raising dinner for the Hall County Habitate affiliate at the Gainesville Civic Center.

The goal of the dinner is to raise enough money to allow Hall County Habitat to build two houses this year. The event is a sellout and there are no more seats available.

Fuller will also speak at two Gainesville churches Sunday morning. He'll be at First Baptist on Green Street at 8:45 and at Grace Episcopal at 10:45.
