Possible Spring Break Trip to Rebuild the Gulf Coast
(week of March 9-15, 2008)
If there is enough interest, we might be able to arrange a spring break trip to one of the communities on the Gulf Coast to build with Habitat. - Scan the opportunities at the following web site: http://www.habitat.org/gulfrecoveryeffort/volunteer_opportunities.aspx
- Give your feedback to officers/advisors on:
- Interest in participating
- Serving as a trip coordinator: these people will research and handle details of planning the trip
- If you would like to build the whole week (M-F, with travel on Su/Sa) or fewer days with a possible recreational stop along the way
- Preference of location
- If you want to help with fundraising for the trip
