Our Happy Hour event on February 16 was one of our most successful to date! The winning design was announced (to be posted soon) and we immediately began receiving orders for the commemorative t-shirts.
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.
The Architectural League of New York has two great upcoming events of interest to Architecture for Humanity NY.
First, Francis Kere, who has won the Aga Khan and a Holcim Award and was in the Small Scale, Big Change exhibition at MoMA, is speaking on February 9, 2012.
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.
