Dialogue
Submitted by: Chris Koterba, Delaware President Delaware members of Tri-State met during our annual Fall Conference in Cambridge, MD. There were sixteen members in attendance, and everyone contributed to our discussions in some way or another! Thanks to all for making the meeting a success. The financial aid night programs have begun and will continue through early February. We’re hoping to help even more families this year than last and have many helpful handouts for them to use as they begin their financial aid application processes. College Goal Sunday 2006 planning and coordination continues. Many, many thanks to all involved in this endeavor, especially Veronica Oney, Jennifer Grunden and Debra McCain of Delaware Technical & Community College. With three sites this year, we’re hopeful for a good turnout. We’re still in need of volunteers for each site, so please give a few hours of your time to help. Several members are investigating a number of possibilities for a community service project for the Spring. More to follow on this! As always, we rely on each others’ volunteer spirit to make each and every one of our programs a success. If you haven’t yet committed a few hours of your time to our events, please consider joining us, especially on College Goal Sunday. Happy Wintering! Maryland Moments Greetings from the MD Association of Financial Aid Administrators.
