[mit-habitat-exec] Greetings from a fellow habitat chapter

[Helene Nguyen]

Hi, I am a director of Harvard Habitat for Humanity, and I just wanted 
to get in touch with other local campus chapters.  I've been involved 
with our chapter for three years now, and I am beginning my term as 
director this spring semester.  I was hoping to talk with officers from 
your chapter and learn from your experiences.  I took a year off last 
year, and in my absence, I'm afraid that our chapter pretty much 
collapsed; I had to return unofficially during my leave of absence to 
run our main fundraiser, and when I officially returned to campus, I 
found out that no weekend trips had been sent out at all last fall 
semester.  (I have many other horror stories about the past year, but 
that would take up pages and pages...)  We are going to have to go 
through a massive rebuilding effort this coming year to get our chapter 
activities up and going again, and I would really appreciate any input 
that you might have.

I hope to hear from you soon.  Please do not hesitate to email or call 
anytime day or night!

Sincerely,
Helene Nguyen
