The Harvard Track Team (both men and women) will come to Houston during Spring Break for the 29th consecutive year. The team trains at Rice University and usually takes part in at least 1 track meet during the stay. I have obtained housing for team members for many years, and am searching again for homes for 60 student athletes. Last year, several Harvard Club of Houston members graciously offered to host students and I hope that more members of the Club will join the wonderful hosts from past years. We ask hosts to provide a (separate) bed for each team member, and request that hosts offer housing for at least 2 people. The students are prepared to fend for themselves otherwise. Accommodations range from luxurious to air mattresses on the floor. Some hosts are out of town for most of the team’s stay, while others treat the students as part of the family, and feed and entertain them. It is up to each host how involved to become. We always look for homes as close to Rice as possible; however, the team brings vans to transport people who are not within running distance of the Rice Campus, so we have many hosts in the River Oaks area, West University and other near town locations. I provide the hosts and team members with packets containing lists of the student/host pairings, maps of where everyone is staying, lists of (cheap) area restaurants and notices of parties, etc. Every year the hosts have had wonderful things to say about the team, and the team members have had great experiences with the hosts and in Houston.
The dates of the trip this year are:
Arrival: Sunday, March 13, 2011 (or Saturday, March 12), depending on available flights
Departure: Sunday, March 20, 2011
Number of team members coming: 60
If you have an interest in hosting, please contact me. Being a host for such great young adults has been a wonderful experience, and I hope that many members of the Harvard community in Houston will participate this year. Thank you for your consideration. My contact information:
