Dear NACCA Community - First a hearty thank you for your support of the national conference in New Orleans. Not only will the conference sessions keep us busy, we will be in the midst of a wonderful venue. You can still join us - register now!!
In years past, NACCA has partnered with a local charity/hospital/school to assist with the needs of the communities we visit. It's been a couple of years, so we are doing so in 2019.
We've had a local NACCA attendee assist in identifying a need (thanks Stephanie Laurent - LSUHSC). We are happy to partner with Head Start/Family Literacy Programs and the Archdiocese of New Orleans Catholic Charities. Items of need for these programs are: Pencils (colored and regular lead), sharpeners, markers, erasers, construction paper, children's books (ages birth to 5 - with about 1/4 in Spanish), new socks and reusable tote bags.
I know that NACCA has big hearts!! These are easily packed items....so let's join forces and leave New Orleans with our donations/gifts.
For additional information, please contact Stephanie Laurent at slaur1@lsusc.edu or Sharon.brooks@duke.edu.
Thank you all in advance! See you soon!!
Sharon
