Dave Bezaire has been the leader for twelve Habitat for Humanity house builds in Columbus, Ohio, three of which were blitzes during the Ohio State Fair, and he has been the construction coordinator on all of the Columbus Global Village Team missions to =$TripReportLinkGhana05?>, =$TripReportLinkMexico06?>, =$TripReportLinkGuatemala06?>, =$TripReportLinkThailand07?>, =$TripReportLinkDominicanRepublic07?>, =$TripReportLinkBolivia08?>, =$TripReportLinkEcuador08?>, and =$TripReportLinkBotswana10?>.
Dave has worked with Habitat for Humanity in a number of other cities in the USA including: =$TripReportLinkMississippi09?>, =$TripReportLinkTucson10?> and =$TripReportLinkDetroit05?>. He served on the =$HFHMidOhioLink?> Board from 2001 through 2008, and has occasionally helped out on the finance and construction committees.
Since retiring from CompuServe / America Online in 2001, Dave has also volunteered for six United Way fall campaigns as a Loaned Executive assisting corporations with set up and execution of their employee pledge campaigns.
More recently, having been inspired by the impact of volunteers after a tragic house fire that severely impacted family friends, Dave is volunteering with the American Red Cross. Please see the article Christmas Greetings 2014 on our blog for more about this new adventure.
While Dave likes to think that one of his most valuable Habitat skills is organizing and teaching unskilled volunteers to build high-quality houses, he mostly finds that Habitat a great way to live his faith while playing with great toys…err…umm…tools.
