Calling all DJs, bartenders, disillusioned office workers, restaurant owners, internet junkies, and cvillain lurkers:

Some people on here rejoice when UVA students flee town, but I don’t. I work for Greater C-ville Habitat for Humanity (cvillehabitat.org) and those oft-maligned students are a huge portion of our construction labor. In their absence, we are really hurting for some…any… warm bodies to help us keep things rolling until they start coming out again in mid-February.

I remember lilith hoped to volunteer more in 2008, so maybe a few more of you share that resolution. I propose a mini c-villain meet-up at my Woolen Mills job site on Saturday, January 26th. We work from 8:45 am til about 3:15 pm each day. Absolutely anyone over 18 is welcome. NO PRIOR CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. Some work is inside, some is outside, and a group as small as 3 or 4 can make a huge difference.

There isn’t any football on that weekend, so you wont be missing much by coming out. In fact, I hear the cocktails at OXO or X-Lounge taste much better after a day of physical labor helping families in need. It also provides great pick-up line material while courting and wooing mates on the various dance floors around town. (”Yeah… I’m kinda tired… I spent all day saving the world and helping poor people. Wanna go back to my place?”) I hardly know anyone in this town, so you cvillain folks are the closest thing I have to a social network to beg for help.

Just thought I’d throw it out there. PLEASE RSVP with email to me: cvilleindiedork [at] gmail [dot] com if you are interested or want more information. I’ll be sure to preserve anonymity if people are worried about that. I’d love to have you.

If you are interested in: you, your group of friends, or your business (great team building activity) volunteering any other time, check out cvillehabitat.org and click the volunteer link. We are always looking for more help.

    If I were in town, I would absolutely come out and support you. You should organize another one of these the next time your labor pool runs dry (maybe June-ish).

    lys- thanks. we are trying to expand our production, so we always seem to be a little short on people. give our office a call if you are interested in coming out before the wahooligans leave. love to have you.

    A group of us from the C-Ville did this in December, and it is actually a lot of fun and a great bonding experience. Plus I got to use a nail gun that is essentially powered by bullets. How sweet is that?

    PS Business owners/managers: it is a fantastic team building activity. Everybody is equal, everybody has to work together, and you can literally SEE the results of your efforts as a group.
