Stony Brook University - Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity

golf 2008 Golf Outing – now taking reservations!

Please plan to join us on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, at the Hamlet at Willow Creek Golf Club in Mt. Sinai, NY, as we honor Stony Brook University President Shirley Strum Kenny.

President Kenny has been an integral part of the Habitat for Humanity Initiative since its inception, and joins us in thanking those who have consistently given of their time and talents to help our less fortunate neighbors achieve the dream of home ownership on Long Island. We hope that those who have participated in the past will join us again in the 2008 campaign, and encourage friends and colleagues to experience first hand, the tangible joy that comes from helping others in such a fundamental and concrete way.

In honor of our 50th anniversary and Habitat for Humanity’s 20th anniversary, we have partnered with HfH to develop a program for the golf outing that is sure to please. A variety of packages are offered, including an assortment of sponsorship opportunities. You will enjoy breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour and dinner, full use of the driving range and practice green; prizes will be awarded for an array of contests and all golfers will take home special Stony Brook University and Habitat for Humanity commemorative gifts.

We are pleased to offer two tee times this year at 7:30 am and 12:30 pm. Whichever you choose, you will enjoy a full 18 hole round of golf on a beautifully manicured course that offers challenges and delights for every golfer, no matter the level of expertise.

So gather your friends and colleagues for your foursome, and get your swing in shape to meet us at the Hamlet on May 6. You’ll have a great day of golf, and help us raise the $80,000 we need to build the 2008 Stony Brook house.

For registration and sponsorship information, please contact Catherine.Horgan@stonybrook.edu.

Habitat for Humanity Alternative Spring Break
Do you have plans for spring break? Do you enjoy volunteer work? Do you like to travel abroad? 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 next year. GV is a Habitat International 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. Habitat for Humanity Nicaragua will work with you to plan your trip and to answer any of your questions. Contact Melissa Schroeder for info.
