Hello everyone!
Our first build this weekend was a great success! Thank you
to anyone who came out and volunteered, especially with all that’s been going
on after the hurricane this last week. If you couldn’t make it and are looking
to get involved still, don’t worry because we’ve got some good news for
you. UF Habitat has a lot of great events coming
up for our chapter within the next week, as well as in the near future:

Firstly, our next General Body Meeting will be held on Tuesday,
9/19 at 7:20PM in Rinker 240, same time and place as always. There is a
Facebook event set up in case you’d like a reminder the day of so you don’t
accidentally miss it or show up late. At this meeting we will be discussing some
upcoming events which are also detailed in this email, as well as future events
which we are seeking volunteers and participants for. We’ve updated our club constitution, and will be going
over the changes and seeing if anyone has any objections. Plus, we will be
playing a fun icebreaker to kick off the meeting. No, don’t worry,
it’s actually a good one we promise. Bring your artistic talent!

Meeting
- Also, something worth mentioning is that we will no longer be posting sign-up forms for builds on our Facebook page or group. This is something we only do during the summer semester since we don’t hold meetings whatsoever, but we did do it for the first build since the hurricane/cancelled builds may have caused confusion. This means if you want to sign up for a build, you must be present at the meeting and sign up afterwards on the computers. If you miss the meeting and asked to be put on the list afterwards, you will have less priority to be picked.
We will
be having a fundraiser at Sweet Dreams, this Wednesday, 9/20.
Officers will be present from 5:00-9:00pm to take attendance. Only
certain popular items will contribute to our proceeds, so make sure to order
one of these dishes and bring your friends! More information about the menu
items will be forthcoming at our meeting. Get more details about our event here and RSVP
to the Facebook event for a reminder. A
fraction of the revenue generated that evening will go towards our
organization, so please come out and support us! This event is also worth 3
points towards your total in the club, which helps with build priority.
In addition,
if you’re not busy this coming Sunday, 9/24, we will be having our very
first Social at Lake Wauburg from 1:00-4:00PM. Visit the Facebook
event here to
RSVP/ receive a reminder beforehand. At the GBM on Tuesday night we
will discuss carpooling to meet at the North entrance. Burgers will be
provided, just make sure you bring your beach gear! For new students, or just
as a reminder if you’ve never been, Lake Wauburg is a UF recreational
facility and you have FREE admission with a Gator 1 ID, as well as the ability
to bring up to four guests.
We’d love to have you come out to one, or even all of
these events this week if you can find the time.
If you have any questions, feel free to message the Facebook
page or ask an officer at the meeting this week.
Good luck in your studies this week, we look forward to
seeing you again,
Olivia
