TWO WEEKS REMAINING!!

AIA Mobile and Friends:

AIA Mobile is now collecting donations on behalf of St. Mary’s Home.

The chapter has been looking to expand its charitable side of things and this is certainly a deserving cause.

Please see the attached flyer for specific details. 

Donations of cash of course are always welcome, but they also have immediate needs of goods that can be donated.

If you have gently used items laying unused around your closets, like towels of twin bed sheets, that’s perfect! Got a fishing pole you don’t use anymore? Send it!  Paper plates left over from your last BBQ?  We’ll take those too.  Everything will help and no amount is too small.

All donations are tax-deductible.

If you are interested in donating anything or have questions about items or logistics, contact steve at sstone@tagarchitects.net 

We can arrange to either pick stuff up from you or schedule a meeting time anywhere.  Bring a bag or two to the chapter meeting!  In the neighborhood of Airport and Downtowner/Azalea? Drop it off at the TAG office!  Or one of our friendly agents will swing by the place of your choice.

If you'd like to read more about St. Mary's Home, please visit their website here.

Thanks in advance to everyone.  We know our chapter is a generous lot, and we're looking forward to collecting a great amount to present to St. Mary's Home!
