Greetings all!
Please don't forget that the Solukhumbu Development Project Fundraiser is this Saturday, September 10th at the Indreni Nepali Cultural Center in Irving.
There will be Nepali snacks, music, dance performances, a Silent Auction, and the debut of the short documentary "The Mountain Between Us" about two young girls living in Nepal.
It would be so great if you could come out and support the event! And if not, maybe peruse the Silent Auction items on our event website and see if any might peak your interest!?

Greetings all!
Thanks to all that were able to make it out. Just a quick recap for those who could not:
1) Edge of Seven : Solukhumbu Development Project
AFH:DFW is collaborating on a fundraising effort in September to support several projects in Nepal, including several water and sanitation upgrades, as well as the addition and new construction of several schools. What we need from our members:
- Suggestions where to host the event? (Preferably in Irving where a large Nepal community resides)
- Possible donation sources (drinks, food, art, music during the event)
Dedicated AFHer's, friends and friends we have yet to meet,
Thanks to all leadership for coming out last Monday! We can all be excited for our chapter as we've got some great opportunities to make a difference in our community for 2011.
We are currently collecting feedback on intiatives and organizational leadership for 2011. As we have your feedback we will begin to move on projects. Between the homeless initiative and the DISD project we've got some good relationships to build on for the Spring.
Friends, friends we haven't met yet and dedicated AFHers,
Happy 2011! I hope you each had an enjoyable (and restful) Christmas and New Year.
2010 was a big year for our little infant chapter (now 18 months young):
> Through engaging community design workshops, produced a conceptual design for a dorm-style campus in Haiti
> Hosted our 1st annual Dallas Architecture Tour and Pub Crawl with 45 friends (photos on FB group page)
Hey everyone,
Thanks again to all who came out for the Haiti benefit screening of "One Peace At A Time" back on the 17th! A special gratitude goes out to director Turk Pipkin for coming up from Austin and for being so gracious in sharing his film with us.
Between projects and the fundraiser we had a very busy late-January, early-February. Because of this we opted not to have a February general meeting. However we are very excited to get back on track in the month of March, and have several project updates and other news.
Hello all,
Thanks to everyone who came from near and far (Jessica came all the way from Norman, OK!) to Trinity Hall for our first meeting of 2010.
We had an outstanding meeting with many new faces, and are looking forward to a great year. It seems that our chapter is growing as are the opportunities for AFH DFW to make a difference. In case you missed us, here is a summary of our January meeting:

Hey everyone!
Thanks for bearing with us through the holidays. I hope everyone reached their travel destinations safely and had a wonderful time with family and friends. As a chapter, we are very excited about 2010 (our first full year). We have several potential projects in the pipelines and look forward to any opportunities that we may have to make a difference in our community and beyond.
