For Beth Butcheri, a 2002 graduate of Westminster College from North Tonawanda, N.Y., the generosity of Westminster's chapter of Habitat for Humanity came full circle when her employer received $1,000.

"I came to work for the Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, S.C. as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in August of 2002.  After working her for a few months, I discovered that Westminster had visited our affiliate during Collegiate Challenge 2000," said Butcheri.  "That alone seemed a great irony, so imagine my surprise yesterday when I overheard co-workers talking about an unexpected check from Westminster College.  That's my alma mater!' I told them."
