HOBY Maine Alumni

What’s all the hoopla about?

HOBY Maine 2009 of course! In 3 days – 14 hours and 29 minutes a new batch of unsuspecting high school sophomores will embark on a weekend-long adventure that will change their lives. Final preparations are feverishly underway, checklists are being made, candy and caffeinated sodas are being procured as Senior and Junior staff get ready.

This time next week we will have added 50 more outstanding leaders to our alumni ranks and planning can begin for our first HOBY Maine Alumni Reunion Dance Party – perhaps we will finally get that dance off between Justin and Jibran we’ve been waiting for!

Stay tuned for how you can get involved! Oh, and if you could all do a little anti-rain dance for this weekend it would be greatly appreciated!

We want to have a big fundraiser in Saco at People’s Choice Bank. The area
is free for non-profits to use, but we need ideas on what to fill the space
with.

Think Big – think Simple – Think Outstanding! Let us know here what you come up with!!!
