The Friends of the House have been working hard to ensure this year’s House Party is even better than last year’s event. No, this will not be like the Kid ‘N’ Play movie from back in the Day, but I have been thinkin about rockin a flat-top in their honor.
Make sure to buy your tickets and come have a blast at this year’s House Party……dance-off is definitely happening. See you there!

Some of our mighty bowlers showed those pins who was boss!
Last week was Volunteer Appreciation Week and we tried to convey to our volunteers and interns how much we value what we do. We gave them a gift, told them how much we value their service…and we also had a nice shindig at The Goodnight. It’s a really fun place and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I just hope that next time someone will play ping-pong with me.
To see more photos from the event, visit our Facebook album here. And if you’re a volunteer for us in any capacity, please know very much we appreciate you and all that you do for RMHC Austin!
