Welcome to the conference blog! We are excited to be going to Chicago and Anaheim for AAPC's regional conferences. We hope you take a look around, watch for conference tips, and enjoy yourself as we begin our ‘countdown to regionals’. Watch here for places to go, people to meet, and things to do in Chicago and Anaheim. We've visited many places over the years, and we know that this conference will deliver.

Project AAPC and Feeding America
Last year Project AAPC was a huge success! The funds raised by the Local Chapters were donated to the American Red Cross for flood ravaged Nashville. The mission of Project AAPC is to support those in crisis. This year we are looking at a much larger crisis in America, HUNGER. Feeding America (formerly Second Harvest) serves over 37 million people a year through their network of food banks nationwide. We know that our members care about their communities and this is a way to give back to those in need. It’s time for your Local Chapter to get creative and organize some fundraisers for Project AAPC. Your Local Chapter donations can then be turned in at the AAPCCA booth during the conference in Long Beach where you will receive the coveted “Project AAPC” Ribbons for your chapter members. It will be an exciting time to see what the Local Chapters can do Together!

Fighting hunger is one area where a little can go a long way. I hope AAPC Conference attendees, and those who are unable to attend, will contribute to this cause and just like with Nashville, we can show that coders STILL care outside our own walls!
ReplyDeleteIn response to current events, the AAPCCA will be providing a chance for you to designate your contributions to help those at HOME (Feeding America) or ABROAD (Japan Tsunami Relief). Thank you all in advance for your giving spirits!
