IFMA HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 1999 BUILD
The Austin IFMA Chapter is organizing an effort to provide the needed (wo)man power to join in a start-to finish build of a Habitat home which began August 21, 1999. When IFMA last worked with Habitat, the enthusiasm was tremendous, and we are hoping for the same response this year. Please take a few moments to review the following timeline, select the day(s)/ activities best for you and click on submit. Remember volunteers do not have to be IFMA members. They can be co-workers, friends, family, etc. All volunteers welcome. You need not be an expert to participate, just an enthusiastic volunteer!
