The Community Based Event (CBE) ad-hoc committee is pleased to report initiatives are underway and APA members are engaging in helping their communities. The CBE has helped support the 2011 Tri-county Alzheimer Walk and the ongoing donation of children’s books to the Capital Area Literacy Coalition.  Planned for November 30, 2011, APA members will conduct a campus-wide children’s book drive to help improve youth literacy in the greater Lansing area.  Announcements will follow in the coming week on locations near your workplace to donate new condition children’s books.  If you are interested in volunteering to help with the book collection, please contact Nick Bourland at [email protected].
The committee is always looking for new ideas, organizations, and volunteers. Â To find out more, please visit the CBE committee page on the APA website.
