Hey guys,

Great meeting on Monday!  For those who couldn't make it, Dana Owens 
spoke to us about how Habitat works as an organization (apparently 
Habitat Int'l is going to start expecting affiliates to double the 
number of houses they build every 5 years!).  He also spoke about the 
college-sponsored house, and gave us some fundraising tips (we can talk 
specifics at the next meeting).

Basically, we are going to try to raise $10,000 for a Habitat house this 
year.  Throughout the year and at the end of the year, we will assess 
our progress and decide if we want to put the money toward the 
college-sponsored house or toward an MIT-only house.  The fundraising 
committee is working on a proposal that we can show to our potential 
donors about what Habitat is and why it's important for them to support 
an MIT-sponsored Habitat house.

We will be having exec meetings once every two weeks.  Please fill out 
the following Doodle by *Friday night*, so I can choose the meeting time 
and let you guys know asap.

Also, we will be going out to dinner as a group on Sun Nov 2 at 5pm!  
The club will cover $10 per person for dinner.  Let me know if you can 
come, so I can make a reservation.  Also, I'm open to suggestions for 
the restaurant!

So, by Friday night, I need you to:
- Fill out the Doodle chart
- Tell me if you can come to the dinner

Have a great weekend! :)
