Habitat for Humanity has Some Exciting
New Events Planned for 2010!
In order to help generate the funds required to support our annual home building efforts, Habitat for Humanity has developed four very successful events annually. These include our three cycling events – Cycle of Hope, Ride Around the Lake, Muddy Waters 100 Cycling Event; and our House Party and Auction gala.
New this year, Habitat is pleased to announce the following:
Better Building Conference
For the past 9 years, there has been a conference and exhibition in our city that shares information on innovative building design, technology and operational best practices. In 2010, the Building Energy Management Manitoba (BEMM), ASHRAE Engineering for Sustainability, Building Owners Management Association (BOMA) Manitoba, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, and the Canada Green Building Council are hosting the Better Buildings Conference and Exhibition, April 13 & 14 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg has partnered with the Better Buildings Conference and will be organizing a dinner on April 13. We encourage organizations to purchase tables, tickets, and to become sponsors of the event. Individual tickets are $100.00. Please contact Lori Hessner-Unsworth at 235-2182.
Golf 4 Habitat
 This Texas Scramble golf tournament will take place at the Saint Boniface Golf Club on June 24. At this time, we are looking for sponsors for the event – please contact Lori Hessner-Unsworth at 235-2182. And, please plan on participating in June!
 Habitat for Humanity ReStore 1st Annual Art Exhibition and Auction
Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg (HFHW) ReStore is proud to announce its first annual ReCreate: A ReStore Art Sale. The sale will focus on local artists utilizing salvaged and recycled materials in order to raise money for Habitat’s ReStore.
 The art exhibition and silent auction sale will begin with the opening reception taking place during HFHW’s corporate wine and cheese event on March 10, 2010 and will continue in the ReStore from March 11 – 16th, space permitting.
The sale will cover all types of visual art including paint, sculpture, up-cycled furniture, door knob art, jewelry, re-made hand bags, lamp art, room dividers, and more. The possibilities are endless when the world of creativity and recycling are opened wide.
The opening reception and sale to follow promises to be a wonderful event where local art will be displayed, showcased and available for purchase to support affordable housing in our community. If you are interested in donating an art piece to our sale, or if you know of an artist who would be perfect to help us, please contact Amber van den Broek at avandenbroek@habitat.mb.ca or 782-9915.
