Habitat for Humanity

willow creekThe 11th Annual Roger Metcalf Memorial Golf Classic, sponsored by Habitat for Humanity and Stony Brook University, originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, 2009, has been rescheduled.

The new date is Monday, May 11, 2009. The location remains the same, at the Hamlet Willow Creek in Mt. Sinai. If you have already registered, you do not need to do anything except show up next week. If you were unavailable on May 5 but are available on May 11, email Catherine.Horgan@stonybrook.edu to obtain a registration form. Limited golf slots and seats for dinner are available.

Build Dates
The build dates are tentative, based on inspections and other construction-related delays. Confirmation of the date will be provided once we have met our quota of volunteers. To register for your preferred date, e-mail Catherine.Horgan@stonybrook.edu. If we are unable to fill all volunteer slots for a particular day, the date may be cancelled. Please also note that volunteers must be 18 or older (16-18 year old volunteers require a parent or guardian to be on site due to insurance regulations). The standard work day is 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and volunteers are expected to arrange their own transportation; directions will be provided once a date has been confirmed.

Habitat for HumanityAlternative Spring Break
Habitat for Humanity Nicaragua invites you to consider an alternative spring break trip to volunteer on a Habitat housing project in Nicaragua! Enthusiastic volunteers are needed to participate in the Global Village (GV) program that organizes 1-3 week trips to construct homes around the world. In Nicaragua, not only would you be helping out with the construction, but you would also get to know disadvantaged families, experience the Nicaraguan culture, and aid a nation with a deficit of over 500 thousand homes. If you are interested in joining or forming a team of volunteers to come to Nicaragua over spring break or at any other time, the opportunity awaits you.
