Spring Break 2013
Hey ya’ll,
In case you are new to our habitat blog… my name is Emily Andreucci and I am the Collegiate Challenge spring break coordinator for habitat. This is the 4th trip that I will be attending and the 2nd time planning the trip. So far I have visited Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. I am very excited to get things rolling for this year’s trip, it is getting to be that time of year again to start signing up for the spring break trip. We are heading down to Albany, Georgia this year and it will be an amazing time. We will be leaving on Friday March 22nd and arriving in Georgia on Saturday March 23rd. We will work Monday through Thursday and will have a half day in there along with a free day on Sunday. We will be heading back to Wisconsin on Friday March 29th. We will be taking a coach bus and there will be about 50 people on the bus. It is an amazing time and quite the bonding experience. Sign up’s for the trip start tomorrow, Monday October 29th, so make sure to come to the meeting with your $50 deposit to sign up or contact me to meet to sign up. All you need is the $50 non-refundable deposit to sign up and the trip in total costs $425. There will be fundraising opportunities as well; I will keep you updated on those. If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to get into contact with me. J I will keep ya’ll updated as to any updates of spots available or things being planned for the trip.
Looking forward to this spring break trip J Hope you are too!
