DE ASFAA members are well on their way to another successful
and, undoubtedly, fulfilling year providing help and
support to our communities.
Our first-ever community service project was a heartwarming
success! From mid-August through
mid-September, we collected assorted school supplies for the Boys and Girls
Clubs of Delaware. Cristine Layton and
Beth Parker spearheaded this activity for us and did an outstanding job of communicating
with our schools, picking up donations and then delivering them. Clubs receiving donations included the
following: Claymont, Claymont/Smyrna,
On September 7, we met at Delaware Tech’s Terry Campus to
focus on ACG and SMART program trials and tribulations and also discussed
upcoming events. Nancy Wilson, Deputy
Secretary of Education, and Maureen Laffey, Director, Delaware Higher Education
Commission, were invited to join us and provided very helpful guidance and
information related to these two programs.
Lighter topics of discussion focused on college nights, financial aid
nights, College Goal Sunday and our community service project.
College Goal Sunday 2007 is scheduled for February 11 (snow
date February 18).
Our next meeting will likely be during our fall conference
