This blog is for any and all NRHH members from any region. Here you can find regional and national NRHH updates, areas for comments about what other chapters are doing, and general NRHH musings. It's PACURH-specific, but all are welcome to share their insight and enthusiasm for NRHH!

End-of-April Updates!

April is over, but as Dr. Suess said, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Here are my updates for you!

NRHM Service Hour Log:
Did you complete any type of active service (excluding philanthropies) during NRHM? NACURH is collecting service hours in the hopes of reaching 720 total as an organization, but we can't do that without your help! Fill out the survey below so that we can make sure your service hours are recorded and we can reach our total! The final results will be made during NACURH, and the deadline to fill out this survey is May 15, 2011!

NRHH Regional Chat: May 19th at 9 PM on AIM. This will be all about preparing for NACURH, so if you are wondering about how that will go, curious to see what is in store, or just nervous about the huge conference, be sure to come! Send your upcoming NRHH rep as well so they can be as best prepared!

OTMs: the winners will be sent out in a separate email a few days from now, so keep your eyes peeled!

NACURH Philanthropy: Don't neglect the service pillar this May! Remember PACURH one of the big things we do is philanthropy and the numbers from No Frills 2011 were kind of low. Please see the message from the conference staff below:

The Camp NACURH staff has selected the National Arbor Day Foundation as our NACURH 2011 Conference Philanthropy. This philanthropy was selected because it not only fits with our camp theme but also because this is a way for us, as college students, to help give back to our natural national treasures. Before arriving in May, we would like all NACURH member schools to raise money on your campus. All proceeds will go to the National Arbor Day Foundation to help fund current and future projects. As you raise money, we would like to see your progress by declaring your pledge online. Pledging your school's donation is as easy as 1,2,3....
  1. Log onto your NACURH2011.com account.
  2. Make your pledge by clicking on "Philanthropy Pledge" under the Your Options menu.
  3. Check back often to find out which schools are in the lead under our "Top 5 Schools" section.
Any time you need to edit the amount of money your school is pledging, just log back in and make the necessary changes (only NCCs are allowed to pledge on behalf of their delegation/school). In addition, anyone will be able to see the top 5 schools that are raising money prior to the conference.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail philantrhopy@nacurh2011.com. We can't wait to see you in 37 days!

Scholastics Shout Out: I want to wish the best of luck with finals, those of you who are taking finals. And, all of you quarter schools taking midterms (like myself), best of luck with that as well!

That's all for now, but have a great May!
