As you may have noticed, it's been raining a lot. Consequently we won't be working tommorrow. Presumably we will do the roofing next week but I don't have any details. By the way, if you're tired of getting this mail you can send an email to: [log in to unmask] with the message remove habitat-l and it will remove you from this list.

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. Thanks, Mike ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 04:59:22 -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.

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
