| Looking for housing for 2 wks while I volunteer at the Astrodome. |
|
Hi, Texas!
I'm a UU clergy person in Denver who wants to take up the Harris County call for Astrodome volunteers. I just graduated in May and am unemployed and in job search. I figure, why not take advantage of my unemployment and figure out a way to get down there to help?
Of course, because I'm unemployed I can't afford a hotel. I'll be borrowing money from friends and relatives to get down there and eat. So I am posting asking for a place (or places) to stay while I volunteer. Reply here or pm me if you or someone/place you know can host me.
Thanks, Texas! :hi:

I had already contacted the UU churches down there, but only the ones in Houston proper. This expands my search parameters. Thanks again!

supposedly the UU's have a list of homes where folks can stay; kind of an informal B & B sort of operation. I'd daresay Houston has some of those homes.
Good luck! And thanks for what you're doing! FSC :hug:

I can't provide a room right now, because only my bedoroom has A/C at this time. But I would love to meet up with you while you are in Houston, if you have the time. It could be in conjunction with whatever work you are doing or getting you away for a break.

sorry, I don't have room in my home to offer.
But I might be able to help with transport from the airport to the Dome (if you fly into IAH).
And maybe some of us DUers here in Houston can get together and take you out for a meal while you're here.
Thanks so much for coming.
BTW, this fellowship is probably the closest to the Astrodome.
