Events: HYP Hard Hat Happy Hour

HYP Board Members Jeremy Turner and Mike Golden

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Rattle Inn last evening for the Austin Habitat Young Professionals Hard Hat Happy Hour (as you can see by the photo, there were indeed real hard hats for us to wear).  Also, special thanks to HYP Board Member Mike Golden and his law firm, Boulette & Golden, for sponsoring last night's event.  It was very generous and we all greatly appreciated the sponsorship.    Also, it was great to see HYP's good friend Adam come over to sign people up for the upcoming Karaoke 5K.  All in all it last night was the ideal way to kick off the 2012 Summer of HYP.

HYP's next event will be on July 26th.  It will be for members only.  More details to come.

HYP's next house build, also for members only, will be only August 18th.  I like building houses more than I hate the heat, so I'll be there (with plenty of Gatorade).  Join HYP and join us to build.

Running: Karaoke 5K

Do you enjoy running and/or singing?  Do you want to help the Austin Habitat Young Professionals build a house?  Of course you do, which is why you should sign up for the Karaoke 5K.  This fun concept for a 5K will be held on September 29th (when chances are good that we'll be back into balmy double digit temperatures).  Proceeds from the event will be donated to Austin HYP (Austin Habitat for Humanity's young professional group).

Sign up quickly, as space is limited.

Events: HYP Hard Hat Happy Hour

Just a reminder that tomorrow night Austin Habitat Young Professionals is having its Hard Hat Happy Hour at Rattle Inn fron 5:30-8.  Be there.

If you are interested in joining HYP for a house build this summer, mark your calendar for 8/18.  Join us tomorrow night and find out how to sign up.

Events: Austin HYP Hard Hat Happy Hour

Austin Habitat Young Professionals ("HYP") is kicking off it's summer with the HYP Hard Hat Happy Hour on June 28th at the Rattle Inn downtown.  Yes, you will get a hard hat.  Wear it as HYP breaks ground for an exceptional summer.  

HYP has upcoming:

• July HYP Member's Only Event
• August 18th Build Day for Members
• August Member Event and Pre Karaoke 5K Party

What is becoming a member of HYP about?  In short, it's about building.  Building leadership, social networks, professional networks, and community.  But most importantly, it's about building lives through the experience of Habitat for Humanity.  If you are a young professional in Austin who's ready to build homes and change lives while having some fun and meeting like-minded people then you should consider joining us. 

What does HYP ask of you?  First, we ask for a donation of only $20 per month.  Once you become a member, we ask for a commitment to help Austin Habitat for Humanity build communities by volunteering to assist HYP's fundraising efforts (which can include working on fun events), volunteering to work on HYP builds, or advocating for affordable housing in some capacity.  Of course, you can do all of the above.  

Click here if you are ready to join Austin HYP.
