Swinerton Builders has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to present us with our first volunteering opportunity of the 2011-2012 school year! I hope all of you are enjoying your summer activities, but we thought we would break up the monotony and go help a few families who would be homeless otherwise. We are going to be helping support Swinerton and all of their subcontractors by assisting with parking, passing out food, registration, hospitality, and recycling (nice way of saying, picking up trash and debris). We would love to get off to a great start in the community service department, but need your help. Not to mention the awesome networking opportunity with a construction powerhouse. Please take a minute to read the information below, SIGN UP, and send a confirmation e-mail to our new address at: SDSU.AGC.CMAA@gmail.com with your name, telephone number, and shift that you would be able to work so we can set up car pool time and locations for all our awesome volunteers. I will be working the Friday afternoon shift and hope all of you can make time in your schedule to help out some families in need. Thanks so much.
All the best,

Luis Reyes
