Register for CHAI Weatherization Day - Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009 As part of Evan Siegel's Bar Mitzvah Weekend, the Goucher community will be helping weatherize low-income households with Baltimore's Comprehensive Housing Assistance, Inc. Register here today. If you have signed up with Hillel but not with CHAI, finish registering here. The more accurate a count CHAI has for the number of people who will be volunteering on Sunday, Nov. 15, the more low-income households CHAI will be able to serve that day. Please be sure to register as a volunteer, not a client, and please be sure to select the 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. volunteering slot.
