Meeting Recap

About Habitat:
To get all the information about Aggie Habitat, including a calendar of events, visit: www.aggiehabitat.com.
I gave out a lot of information about Habitat for Humanity Intl. If you would like to learn more about Habitat, visit: www.habitat.org/how/default.aspx

Builds:
This semester we will be helping a lot with Washington County's Habitat for Humanity chapter and their home in Brenham. We will then turn to focus more here locally in October when we will begin helping with the construction of a home in Angel's Gate located in Bryan.
Also, Aggie Habitat girls have the opportunity to volunteer at some of the Women’s Circle builds.
In order to participate in builds, you don’t need any experience whatsoever. All you need is closed toe shoes, some clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and a desire to help make a difference in someone’s life.

Socials:
The next social is 02/25/10 10:35 PM Artic Wolf If you are planning on going, please contact Ryan Antkowiak or sign up from the website.

Fundraisers:
This year we are planning on increasing our fundraising, and we need your help. Chris Jones will head a fundraising committee made up of members that want to help us reach our new fundraising goals. If you are interested, please contact Chris Jones.
Collecting membership dues is actually our largest fundraiser. If every member were to pay their dues, we would be half way towards sponsoring a house. If you need to pay dues, either come to the next meeting or contact our treasurer Alecia Beriswill.

Point System:
This year we are implementing a point system to keep track of exceptional involvement. At the end of the semester we will be recognizing those members with the most points. For more details on the point system, visit: ,www.aggiehabitat.com/info/points.aspx.

Next Meeting:
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday 02/10/10 08:30 PM in READ 163.
Thanks to everyone that came out to the last meeting. If you couldn’t make it, I look forward to meeting you at a future Aggie Habitat event.
