Happy Hour: Habitat Young Professionals

Austin Habitat Young Professionals ("HYP") has a happy hour coming up on April 21st at the Belmont. There will be drink specials, but more importantly, there will be information and opportunities regarding becoming more involved with Habitat. HYP is a lot of fun, and HYP does a lot of good. Moreover, I've been adding this line to many HYP annoucements:

Have Fun. Build a House. Change Lives.

There is a lot more to building the house than the actual build days. Houses require land, lumber, fixtures, and a host of other items in order to get built. These items aren't free, and thus the process of raising funds to support the volunteer build days is a vital part of "Build a House." Money comes from a variety of sources, with HYP membership dues and HYP Gala tickets being a large component. Thus, if you want to help a family obtain the dream of owning a home, signing up as a paying HYP member is a great way to get started.

See you at the Belmont on the 21st (or, if you can't come but want information, email: floydaustinblog@gmail.com).
