Hope to see you there!

Greetings everyone!

Habitat for Humanity had its first meeting of the quarter this past Thursday. Welcome to all our new members, it was great to see so many new faces!

Next General Body Meeting: If you missed the meeting, don’t worry! We will be holding another General Body Meeting (GBM) next Thursday, October 15th at 9pm in GSDC Conference Room D (basement of Creese Student Center), but I’ll also outline some important upcoming events in this email. Our next GBM will hopefully feature an actual Habitat Homeowner, so be sure to come out!

Fundraising: This term we will be canning (collecting money from pedestrians) almost every other week. The first canning date is this Friday, October 9th from 4-6 pm at 30th St. Station. This is a great opportunity to fulfill your volunteer requirement for the chapter as well as for the university. If you are interested in participating in canning make sure you sign up on the website at http://signup.duhabitat.org.

Builds: Our first build for the school year will be this Saturday from approximately 7am-4pm. In order to be eligible for a build, you must have attended one fundraising or volunteer event — canning counts! If you have a car, and are willing to drive, it would be greatly appreciated! If you are interested in attending the build sign up on the website at http://signup.duhabitat.org; more information and directions will be provided to those who sign up.

Hoodies: We have also decided to hold a competition for the design of our 2009 Habi-Hoodie’s! The winner will get a free hoodie with their design on it! Designs must use only a single color ink and must include our name or chapter logo. Submissions are due by our next meeting, Thursday October 15th, in any form.

Executive Board Meeting: An executive board meeting will be held tonight, October 8th at 9pm in our office 3014 McAlister. Board meetings are open to any student, but are generally smaller than General Body Meetings, and are more focused on running the organization. If you’re not sure if you want to attend, I’d suggest waiting to come to the following week’s GBM.

Future Events: More information will be coming soon regarding November’s annual fundraiser, “Rake-A-Thon” and open board positions for the 2010 Executive Board.

Have a great week!
