Words of Wisdom from Kevin Filchak

Hey NEACURH!!

Two years ago, I proposed an idea to my Execuve Board at my host

instuon. "Hey guys, why don't we try and host the Sub-Regional

Meeng?" Their response could not have been more enthusiasc. We

instantly began preparing, reading policy, asking quesons, makingphone calls and so much more. I looked at my computer screen the

night I was to submit the proposal and said, "Wow, this has been an

incredible journey that I've been on the past few weeks. I can't believe

how much fun everything was just in preparing the proposal alone." I

hit send, and a few days later, something wonderful happened...our

proposal had been accepted.

Our Subs meeng was a fantasc experience for my execuve board

and for myself. But what was the most important take away from that

experience was the preparaon for the proposal. It taught me how tobe a beer NCC because it taught me to think about not just my

schools interests, but NEACURH's. It taught me that taking that risk and

subming a proposal is the most nerve wracking moment as an NCC,

but it also produces the biggest rewards. Had our proposal been

rejected by the Region, that would have been just ne in my mind

because we had taken that risk of presenng a proposal that we were

proud of. It taught me that the RBD is not as an enty to be

inmidated by, rather it is your NEACURH family, who only want you to

take that rst step and take that risk of proposing something; they're

there to catch you so you do not fall. Finally, it was able to bring Marty

closer to my Execuve Board, and that is a great feeling.

my favorite part of subs was

when my NCC and myself were

able to carpool with Tricia

Connelly, the RCC NY at the

me. I enjoyed geng that one

on one interacon with an RBD

member, which made me feel so

much more comfortable at

minis. Subs itself was a great

way to bond with the RBD,

NCCs, NRHH reps and

Presidents

My favorite SUBS memory is

when I was at SUNY Geneseo

last fall and we rst learned

the hand clapping (Give me

one...Give me two....) from

Craig Levan, which we used as

part of our roll call this pastNACURH at Western Illinois

University!

BLAST FROM THE PAST!I remember my rst sub-regional meeng. It was at NYU and I was a

mid lile NCC-IT. Everyone was so warming and welcoming. The

weekend reinforced my love of the moose and eventually movated

me to run for the RBD. All the fun icebreakers and smulang

conversaons couldn't have been more perfect (well, maybe a few

more hours of sleep). My biggest advice would denitely keep an

open mind and go in with a lot of enthusiasm!

NE subs last year was

absolutely awless!Both Suolk and Roger

Williams were super

fun and totally dierent

from each other. At

Suolk subs, Kevin and

his Maa-playing-skills

were absolutely epic,

and at Roger Williams,

some NCCs split into

teams and playfully ar-

gued whose team

would win an epic

bale (never fought).

Courtney Anderson,

Service Coordinator

The rst me I went to subs was last semester at Roger

Williams. It was informave, yet excing and lively! First, what

are subs? Subs is an opportunity for NCCs, Presidents and NRHHRepresentaves to get together to discuss the conference com-

ing up. I got to bond with other NRHH Representaves before

geng thrown into a conference. Everyone shares ideas, helps

other colleges/universies overcome issues, and just get to

know each other. Stories are shared about the beginnings of

their semester or their breaks. We get creave with mini pro-

jects and best of all WE GET TO CHEER! Usually, the NCCs,

Presidents and NRHH Representaves miss out on the fun of

cheering during conference, so we make up for it by cheering

between our informaon and break-out sessions. My favorite

memory of my rst subs: Meeng Northeastern and feeling like

I was part of a family. They were so supporve and outgoing, I

felt like I t in with everyone right away. Special Thanks to Ma,

Katelyn, and Tina (aka Tim). Cant wait to see you all at the next

one!

To all of you who are considering a proposal for Subs

or a bid for Regionals, POY, SALT, whatever,remember this: "Every journey, no maer if you are

walking to the store or walking to the ends of the

earth, begins with just one step.

Take that step NEACURH. You Rock!

-Kevin Filchak

Heyyyy NEACURH!

Can you believe its the start of another

school year? This year is truly your year. It is your chance to make

a dierence, inspire something new, achieve your goals and learn about yourself

and RHA and NRHH. But the queson becomes, how can YOU achieve this? As you

start this year, seek out opportunies to challenge yourself and your organizaon.

You will grow far more than you ever thought possible and change both your

organizaon and your school for the beer! Accept this challenges and never look

back because who knows, maybe you could be on RBD or the next NEACURH

Director. Immerse yourself in what you love. My ulmate piece of advice is simply

to follow your heart. You will nd yourself in places that you have never imagined.

One of the best ways to make a dierence is to learn from those in NEACURH and

NACURH. At conferences you have the ability to learn about programs, meet a

multude of new people and exchange ideas. NEACURH also has the disnct

opportunity for all NRHH Reps, NCCs and Presidents to aend a subregional

meeng. This is a great opportunity to bond within your subregion New England or

New York, exchange ideas and receive training for the upcoming conference. My

rst subregional conference was held at WPI in the fall of 2009. Without much

regional experience it was an amazing opportunity! I was able to meet people

within the region while exchanging ideas on a more personal level. With smallerboardrooms and discussions the conversaon can be tailored to beer help YOU.

Subs is an amazing way to interact with the region and hosng a meeng is even

beer! You have the ability to help the region and make a mark within NEACURH! I

encourage all of you to think about creang a subs proposals and denitely

aending subs.

You all are going to grow more as leaders and individuals than you ever expected

this year! I cant wait to get to know you this year! You are going to do a great job!

Mooselove,

Hey NEACURH!

The Clark University Residence Hall Associaon has been super busy

these last few weeks of August and we want to share what we have been

up to! First o we hope that all of NEACURH has had a fantasc summer

and start to the school year! This year, Clark RHA played a major role in

Clarks Week One First-Year orientaon. We hosted big-prize BINGO (a

Clark

tradion) where we supplied an iPad as the biggest prize. A few days later,

we hosted the RHA Block Party, where rst years were given new RHA

t-shirts to paint with glow-paint for the quintessenal Clark Week OneBlack Light Dance! Along with these events, our RHA E-Board helped with

First-Year move-in and supplied all rst-years with eco-friendly Clark RHA

tote bags (inside were buons, lanyards, and sckers displaying Clark RHA

pride!). Overall, Clarks Week One experience was posive. We are looking

forward to subs and what the rest of the semester has to oer! Moose

love, NEACURH!

I'm, Seneca, the NRHH Chairmen at Keene State

College, I aended one subs last year in the Spring

and one of my best memory from it was talking

with other schools and geng to know their NCC's

and NRHH members. Along with what programs they did that were big successes.

As for program's we have done so far on rst year move in day we had an event

called "Wiener Welcome." The event consisted of Residence Hall Organizaon

(RHO) members handing out hot dogs, chips, and drinks for free to rst years,there family's, and anyone else that wanted one. Another program we have done

is vising all the rst year living areas as part of orientaon and having a "Hall

Council Spirit Night." In this event we talked to them a lile bit about what Hall

Council and RHO is/does. Then we had poster making contest for one of RHO's

rst event's "Res Hall Rumble," which is like a eld day from middle school. Part

of the day is the living area's spirit and they can get points for having lots of spirit

that will help them win the rumble. Aendees split into groups of 8 and were

challenged to made a poster that represented the spirit of there living area. Then

we collected all posters and stored them so when that area's Hall Council isformed they can pick their favorite and us it, take parts of each and make a new

one, or use mulple poster's the day of the event. Both events were a success

and surpassed our expectaons.

Events we have within the next two weeks are Hall Council Informaon Sessions.

For this Members of RHO go to each living area and talk about Hall Council (How

the work, what they do, etc.). Also, September 10th we have comedians "Dave

and Ethan" coming to do a campus wide comedy act. We have had great turn

outs for these events in the past and expect to have beer turn outs this year.

-Seneca Eldredge,

NRHH Chairmen for Keene State

Presidents Corner With Sheraz

Hey NEACURH Presidents,

As the school year starts up, I thought Id share some things you can

do to prepare for your RHA oces.

Mail Box I found it makes it convenient for e-board members

and myself when they have their own personal mail box to

keep the desk beer organized.

Message Board Got a message you need to tell your board

members for the day, this can come in good use!

Oce Hours It is always good to have peoples oce hours

posted so you know what me is best to get in touch with any

board member. You can go even further by asking board

members to post their schedules so you dont call them while

they are in class!

Personal Eects/Decoraon Aesthecs for the oce is a sure

re way to make people stay happy and get work done.

Stress Ball It never hurts to use this when you are having a crazy

day at the oce.

Supplies It is always a good thing to make sure you have oce

supplies to get business done. Items include, but are not lim-

ited pens, pencils, highlighters, stapler, staples, hole puncher,

paper clips, note pads, white out, scky notes, and much

more!

Supply Closet Have care packages or supplies for an awesome

program that will occur in a few weeks but dont want it

cluering your oce, a supply closet always comes to good

use for that!
