Habitat for Humanity Service Event - Saturday, April 7 - 8:30am to 4:30pm

PLEASE RSVP IF YOU CAN HELP

Fellow Georgetown Alumni,

I am psyched to let you know that I've arranged for local Georgetown Alumni to get together and participate in a Bay Area community service event. It will be a great opportunity to give back to the community, while at the same time you'll be able to network and socialize with your fellow classmates.

I've arranged for 15 to 20 volunteers to participate in a build with Habitat for Humanity at their Outer Mission site. I've been volunteering with them for about 2 years now and have had some wonderful opportunities to see how giving back is physically transforming and improving our community. I have learned a great deal about building houses and can't say enough good things about the project coordinators who make the day a great experience.

Here are a few details:

When: Saturday, April 7, 2007
Time: 8:30am to 4:30pm
Where: De Long Terrace @ Santa Cruz Ave - Outer Mission (see below)
Attire: Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and closed-toed shoes. The weather can be cold, windy, foggy and/or sunny so wear sunscreen and bring a sweatshirt. If you have work gloves it's nice to bring your own. Tools and safety equipment will be provided.
Lunch: Lunch is not provided so we will go to a local venue to grab something to eat.

I thinks it's great to have Georgetown represented at a Habitat for Humanity build and look forward to you all joining us for a day of excitement. Feel free to call me if you need to: (415) 516.0708

Sincerely,

Ken Fisher

Second Round Game Recap from the Hoya Hoop Club:

How Sweet It Is! Hoyas Power Past Eagles In Second Round Of NCAA Tourney, 62-55Winston-Salem, N.C. - During the first half of Georgetown's second round NCAA Tournament game with Boston College, Head Coach John Thompson III spoke with junior center Roy Hibbert (Adelphi, Md./Georgetown Prep) as he sat on the bench after picking up two fouls in the game's first 14 minutes. The Hoyas' third-year head coach told the 7-2 center that the team would be going to him in the second half. Hibbert responded, scoring 15 of his team-high 17 points in the second half as No. 2 seed Georgetown fought back from an eight-point deficit to beat their old foe from the BIG EAST Conference, 62-55, in front of 14,148 fans at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Saturday evening. The win moves the Hoyas into the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight year and the 11th time in program history. It was the team's sixth-straight win, and the 17th in the last 18 for the Hoyas, who improve to 28-6 overall.
