Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Day

In the spirit of giving back to our community, Williams Architects / Aquatics hosted our first DuPage Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Day.  Several Williams’ employees (Tom LaLonde, Chris Suhr, Stacy Jozwiak, Brittany O'Connor, Scott Morlock & Karen Lellios) spent the day working on various projects - seeding the lawn, siding the house, etc. What a wonderful experience for such a terrific organization.
