New URL
If you're here, you already know our site has changed from a .com to a .org. Our old one expired, someone picked it up instantly somehow, and so we had to switch. This makes more sense anyway since we are an organization. :)

Binghamton Gala Confusion
The "Binghamton Gala" has been causing confusion due to its title. This is a Habitat for Humanity event... not the school's. If you remember last year, it is really more like the "Habitat for Humanity Banquet". You do not need to dress up extra-fancy. We really just want to encourage something better than jeans although we won't kick you out for it. Sorry for any confusion.
