For anyone who missed the event or would like to order a shirt, please email loveafhny@afhny.org
Many thanks to FENWICK KEATS and all our supporters for helping us make this happen.

Our chapter is calling on our fans and supporters to create a "Why I Love Architecture for Humanity New York" t-shirt design. The winning design will be printed on a t-shirt that will get used in fundraising and awareness efforts that support us throughout the year.
1) Cash Donations
Since volunteering often requires commitments that you cannot make, you can still be a vital part of Architecture for Humanity New York by donating money to support our projects and operations. Our chapter is entirely volunteer-operated, and we rely on the generosity of our donors to sustain our work.
2) Sponsorships
You can sponsor specific needs of our chapter, including projects, monthly Chapter Meetings, or our general operations. We can include credit for you or your business to acknowledge your support.
January Chapter Meeting recap
This month's Design DEYS-themed meeting was held at the Steelcase Showroom near Columbus Circle where we had some of our largest attendance to date!
After hearing general information about our chapter's background and mission, attendees were introduced to the Design DEYS program by our Director of Outreach, Rachel Starobinsky, and project coordinator Ambika Roos. This was followed by a lecture on lesson planning tips, presented by project coordinator Betty Starobinsky.
Please join us for this month's Chapter Meeting on Thursday, January 5th. It will be held at the Steelcase Showroom from 7 - 8PM.
This Chapter Meeting will be focused on Design DEYS, Architecture for Humanity New York's youth design education initiative. There will be a brief presentation about the program followed by a guest speaker and workshop.
We'll be kicking Design DEYS into high-gear in 2012, so be sure to attend this week's meeting to find out how to get involved!
