ASMC has once again chosen the Zia Kids for our upcoming community service project. The “Zia Kids” are children who attend Zia Elementary School and whose parents aren’t on welfare, but are barely scraping by. They often lived in motels, low-grade apartments or even on the streets. New school supplies are a luxury these kids don’t normally have. These kids are very excited about school, and when they have new school supplies, their eyes light up! The counselor at the school identifies the children and their families who are in need of assistance. Then she gives our donated items to those children.

Some suggested donations for school supplies are: Backpacks, Pencils, Colored Pencils, Paper, Glue, Colored Markers, Crayons, Scissors, Erasers, Spiral Notebooks, Pocket Folders, Wide Ruled Notebook Paper, Hand Sanitizer and Tissue Boxes.

We are accepting monetary donations too.

You can bring your donations to the luncheon next week (August 16th, 11:30, in Building 201. Or you can drop off the donations to Rose-Marie Strach, Building 497, room 121A, or Cheryl Valdez, Building 413, room 143. OR, call Rose-Marie at 6-0430 and she’ll stop by and pick them up!

Last year our school supply donation was an extremely successful event. ASMC is hoping for the same success this year!

Thank you for your generosity ASMC Members!
