Habitat for Humanity 2008 Project Announcement

Due to our success in 2006 with our Habitat for Humanity Project, we are elated to announce that we will once again partner with Habitat for Humanity to enhance and elevate their volunteers knowledge of safety and use of personal protective equipment. This gives us another chance to give back to the community that supports us.

In March, 2008 we will begin collecting donations from local companies and ASSE Tarheel Members to deliver to the local Habitat for Humanity. We will be collecting items such as gloves, safety glasses, ear plugs, hard hats, first aid kits, and donations. You don't have to wait until March though, if you'd like to donate before then, please contact us at tarheel.asse@gmail.com.

In addition to collecting PPE at our meetings, we will also be collecting PPE donations at the Charlotte Regional Safety and Health School on April 25 and 26, 2008. Our donations will be dispersed to Mecklenburg, Gaston, and York County Habitat for Humanity Offices.

Volunteers Needed

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in holding an elected position or would like to participate on one or two projects. We will be accepting candidates for the following positions beginning in March, for elections to be held in June. The elected positions are Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, and President. We also have Honors and Awards, Newsletter Editor, and Website Editor available. Special projects consist of:

• Postcard Project
• ASP workshop
• OSHA 10 Hour course

If interested, please contact one of your elected officers.
