| A Note from the Volunteer Chair
|
Hey Everyone!
I
just want to remind everyone that this Saturday we have a volunteer day. We had
a really good showing last month and I would like to do even better this month.
This month we will be working on a Brush With Kindness home. For this
Saturday's Volunteer Day we will be at 6513 Greensboro Dr. 78723 (Click here for a map and directions).
Be sure to
wear closed toed shoes and appropriate clothing. If
you have never volunteered with Habitat For Humanity you
will need to register online.
This just in from AHFH's Director
of Volunteer Services: volunteers who have registered on-line don't need to
re-register each year (if you have completed on-line orientation/registration in
the past two years, then you are covered - you may want to update your contact
info though). However, EVERY volunteer must submit the Liability
Waiver, annually. So EVERY volunteer must submit a new
liability waiver for 2009. The waiver is available on-line here, and hard copies
are always on each job site. If you choose to circulate this waiver, please
include a note that anyone who has not registered and completed orientation
on-line in the past two years, must still do so. Let me know if you have
questions on the paperwork/registration process.
All information on
Volunteer on-line orientation/registration and waivers can be found at www.austinhabitat.org/volunteer/index.php
Thank you!
