2007 Community Assistance Initiative

For the past several years the Advisory Council of AHAP has chosen an organization in the Annual Conference host city in need of our members' assistance. This year a task force was formed to provide and approve a list of charities which was then presented to AHAP's Advisory Council.

The Monarch School in San Diego, California has been chosen as the recipient of AHAP's 2007 Community Assistance Initiative. Unfortunately, it's a tough reality that not all kids are given the same opportunities. The Monarch School is a California not-for-profit corporation that works closely with the community and the San Diego County Office of Education to provide an accredited education to homeless and at risk kids while caring for their basic needs such as healthcare, food, clothing and personal hygiene.

A Monarch School representative as well as a past recipient of the school's services will be in attendance at the Membership Appreciation Dinner at the Annual Conference in San Diego on Friday evening, June 15, 2007. Over the next several months, additional information will be provided to all AHAP members on the type of donations that are needed.

Your continued support of this AHAP initiative is greatly appreciated!
