We had an informational meeting on Oct. 20th via Zoom to discuss plans for the year.
You can find your new officers and advisers on the 'HOME' tab of this website. Dues are $35 and include a t-shirt. Payments can be made online at MyPaymentsPlus, or contact Mrs. Ford in the library to pay in person (correct change only or check) or to mail in a check. Dues support our club activities and mainly our house build. AFTER you pay dues, join the REMIND for your graduating class. This is how we communicate with you! Please only join once using your first and last names. (other names will be deleted). If you are a previous member and already on REMIND, DO NOT join again as you will get multiple texts. Meetings in November and December continue the 2nd Wednesday of each month virtually via Zoom. Link will be sent via REMIND. Time -TBA. Join with your first and last name. We will only admin members with first and last names. We are still able to do some fundraising and service projects! Our first fundraiser is Nov. 9th from 4-8 at Otter's in the Avenues of West Cobb. Otter's will donate 15% of proceeds of purchases during this time. So, dine in if you are comfortable or pickup food to go! Food delivery service like DoorDash and UberEats do not count for us. Service: we are working on some service opportunities and at this point they may have to be by individual sign up with an organization. We have to check with the district to see if we can offer a HHFH group activity. More info to come. OUR BUILD: Hopefully we can build in Spring. The way builds work is that we (the Cobb HS Coalition) pay $90K to participate. This covers a 9-day build (Saturdays). Each school sends students based on the amount they donate toward the $90,000. Each day allows 30 students on the site, so for example, if we donate $10K to cover a day, we can send 30 students over the 9-week build cycle. Students are given the opportunity for these slots based on HHFH club participation points. Students with the most points for the year are offered slots first, and so on. Keep in mind not every student says yes to a build day, so we then go to the next person on the list. If we build in Spring, we will start with last year's list since we didn't build, and then go forward. Although we will offer a place for the class of 2020, many of those students will not be able to return for a build day. I know this will be a very different year in all aspects but we do look forward to continuing the work of Habitat for Humanity any way we can! ~Mrs. Ford
