I hope everyone is having a great start to the fall semester. We are so excited to get everyone involved with Impact again! Here is what Impact has going on in the next week or so:

Sunday August 28th (this weekend!) we have a car wash FUNdraiser from 9am-4pm at the McDonalds on MLK near Guadalupe. We hope to see a lot of you out there, old and new faces! Please sign up for shifts --> here <-- so we can make sure to have carwashers present all day.

Wednesday August 31st is Party on the Plaza in front of Gregory Gym. This event is attended by the hundreds of student organizations at UT. Each organization gets a table where they can promote their organization. At our table we will have a tri-fold poster board about Impact and candy! This will be a great way to tell others about our organization and to expand our membership. If you are interested in tabling sign up -->here<--

Wednesday September 7th at 6:30pm in WEL 2.304- the time has finally come for our First General Meeting. We can't wait to share the exciting events we have planned for the Fall and hopefully meet some new people! Bring your friends. There will be some type of food.

Recap of Impact's Summer Events

Hello Impact Members!

I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing summer. I just wanted to give a little update on what Impact has been up to this summer.

In June a few members visited Marbridge Ranch, an assisted living facility for adults with cognitive disabilities. We spent the morning playing kickball. Our teams were the Dodgers versus the Mets. Everyone had a lot of fun! One of the best parts was cooling off with a popsicles after the game. The residents look forward to us returning in the fall to play Bingo!

Our July event was this past weekend. We worked with Austin Habitat for Humanity to help build a house for an amazing woman named Janie and her 3 year old son Julian. It was the first day of the build so we were there when the first wall went up, which was really neat!  It was a lot of hard work but so much fun! At the end of the day our site manager said our team finished in one day what usually gets done in 2 days.

The first walls going up early in the day.

Impact Crew at the end of the day in front of Janie's House.

I for one really enjoyed the experience and can't wait to be apart of another build in the future. 

Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep checking your email for news of more Impact events and information about the fall semester.

Sincerely, 

Christine Nguyen
