Press Release Summary: Super Strong, Energy Efficient, Custom Green Home Raffle Will
Raise Funds to Build affordable Housing.

Press Release Body: Aeonian Brick Homes of South Carolina, LLC and the
Charleston Area Community Development Corporation have agreed to build an unlimited
number of affordable homes in the Charleston area with a new building material made
from an abundant source, the earth. This project will start by building three homes
per month and increase to twenty homes per month by the end of the first year. To
accomplish this goal, the Charleston Area Community Development Corporation will
have to expand their operation. This will be made possible by holding a raffle for a
new kind of home that is strong, durable, energy efficient and maintenance free.

The new building material combines modern chemistry with a centuries old brick
making process of compressing dirt and clay together. With a safe, environmentally
friendly process, the clay is water stabilized. It will no longer expand when wet or
contract when dry, ever! The clay and earth is then compressed into an interlocking
shape with tremendous force. No firing is required, which saves huge amounts of
energy in the manufacturing process and produces no pollution.

Testing conducted by independent certified testing laboratories have shown that a
wall built with these new "interlocking earth bricks" will withstand 240 mph winds
with no structural damage. They are also fire, flood and termite proof. All walls in
the home are made with bricks, which eliminates all wood, insulation and drywall in
the home (the three main causes of mold and mildew). The side of the brick is smooth
as glass, and can be sprayed to look like drywall, wall papered or textured and
painted. The exterior walls are sprayed with a textured material that can take on
the appearance of stucco, brick, wood planking or any look desired. The homes will
save vast amounts of energy with an R-45 thermal mass and an R-20 heat resistance.
To complete the home, a concrete roof system is used that has a 300 mph wind
resistance and is also fire and insect proof while providing superior insulation
qualities. All this and more at no extra cost!

Don Blalock, President and Founder of the company stated, "Homes built today, even
with volumes of building codes, are weaker and have more problems than homes that
were built one hundred years ago. A young couple buying a new home today will spend
more money on maintenance, repairs and wasted energy over the life of the mortgage
than the purchase price of the home!"

With gas prices high, our dependency on foreign oil, global warming concerns, and an
increasing trend towards building "Green" with conservation of our resources, these
new Aeonian Brick Homes could be the answer to many problems, including the homes
being destroyed daily by fires, floods, high winds and insects. We could see oil and
wood dependency replaced with an easily acquired resource, the earth beneath our
feet. Instead of building homes that last a generation or two, we can build homes
that will last for centuries.

The raffle will be for a custom built home with a value of $500,000 or cash.
Donations are $25 per ticket.
