Howdy, Sorry to do this to you on such short notice, but for those of you who were planning on attending the meeting scheduled for tomorrow, don't go. We're going to have to postpone it for a little while. I'll let you know when we will reschedule it, and then we can talk about our fundraising plans. As always, if you have any questions, just drop me a line, and I'll be glad to answer them. Thanks, Ross Nelson ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 19:18:07 -0500 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Mike Schneider <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Workday this Saturday Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi there, This message is just to reconfirm to people who have already signed up that we will be having a workday this Saturday (Oct 17). It appears likely that we are going to have a big crowd (25-30 people), so if you are for some reason unable to make it, don't worry. We will be putting the shingles on the roof, so it will be a bit crowded up there. If you only want to work in the morning or in the afternoon, that will be fine too. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thanks mike schneider ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 19:45:06 -0500 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Mike Schneider <[log in to unmask]> Subject: More on the workday Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit After further consultation, it appears that the house is not quite ready for roofing yet. Rather we will be putting on the decking on part of the roof and doing some other stuff to get the roof ready. We may also be putting sheetrock in the other house. mike ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 08:54:22 -0600 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Mike Schneider <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Workday this saturday Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, The building manager from Norman asked me to find about 7-10 people to help do some roofing this Sat (Oct 31st). If you would like to come please send me an email and I'll put you on the list. I think this mailing list has about 100 people on it so please be understanding if you don't get to go. If there are too many people at the work site then there are just a bunch of people standing around. The house is located at Himes and Stubbman, 3 blocks south of Robinson and one block east of the railroad tracks. We will be starting around 8AM. Thanks Mike Schneider ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 11:04:47 -0600 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Mike Schneider <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Habitat workday this Saturday Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In case you missed the first announcement (there are several new people on this list) we will be having a work day this Saturday, October 31st. We need about 7-10 people to help with the roof. So far only about 4 people have told me they wanted to go, in contrast with the excessivly large pool of labor at our last workday. So, we still need some help. As always, it is hard to predict how many people will respond so please be understanding if there are too many. The house is located at Himes and Stubbman, 3 blocks south of Robinson and one block east of the railroad tracks. We will be starting around 8AM. thanks Mike Schneider ======================================================================== Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 16:03:45 -0600 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Mike Schneider <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Workday canceled Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As you may have noticed, it's been raining a lot.

University). The meeting will be from 6:00 - 6:45PM. This is a good opportunity for any one who wants to get more involved. They will be discussing how Habitat works and what is done in Norman, as well as things volunteers can do help. We are going to hang flyers sometime next week to advertise the meeting. It's a pretty big job, so we need some help. If you can help, let me know. Speaking of which, we could really use a dedicated volunteer coordinator to handle things like this and getting people organized for work days. If you'd like to that, let me know as well.

I, Bradey must find twelve people to go with us for the Collegiate Challenge trip this spring break to El Paso. Since it is for habitat for humanity the OU Habitat email list seemed like a good place to start looking for people. The trip will cost about $60, which includes transportation, lodging, and some food. As I said we will be traveling to El Paso and working on a house sponsored by the Habitat affiliate there. There will be time for enjoying ourselves as well. If you 're interested please email me. Thanx, Bradey. ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 05:00:35 -0600 Reply-To: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> Sender: HABITAT-L <[log in to unmask]> From: Bradey McDeid <[log in to unmask]> Subject: collegiate challenge flyers Comments: To: [log in to unmask] X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In regards to getting more students interested in the Collegiate Challenge trip I will be putting up flyers wednesday evening, but I need help.

The two big things going on are house construction and Collegiate Challenge. As you have hopefully found out by now, OU Habitat will be building it's first house next semester! This is a very exciting project for us. OU HFH is responsible for raising the funds and supplying the labor. We will be holding a ground-breaking ceremony soon after school starts in January. We would like everyone to come and help celebrate! Construction will begin in mid-February and end in mid-May (hopefully). There will be a total of 16 working days, approximately 8 or 10 of which will require volunteers (the other days are done by contractors). We will be scheduling student groups and individuals to come work. Ross Nelson ([log in to unmask]) will be in charge of scheduling student groups. If you have a group that is interested in helping please contact him. Rita Patel ([log in to unmask]) will be organizing individual volunteers. We will also need help in supplying lunch each work day, and we are looking for people to be site hosts. The site hosts will meet the volunteers in the morning, give them a name tag, talk a little about safety, etc etc. If you are interested in taking on either one of these jobs, please contact Rita. (By the way, you don't need any experience to be a site host.) Our other activity next semester will be Collegiate Challenge. This is a really cool opportunity for anyone who wants to get more involved with Habitat. During spring break, we will be traveling with 12 people to El Paso, TX (which, by the way, is right on the US-Mexico border, so you will have the opportunity to visit Mexico as well). The cost is about $60, and it's a whole lot of fun. Contact Bradey McDied ([log in to unmask]) if you'd like more info or to sign up. Mike Schneider President, OU HFH
