AEC 2013: The NAJA Legacy "Rolls" On!
AEC 2013 is a day away! We are thrilled to have heard yesterday that attendance is up 30% at this AEC, with just over 650, expected! We also have learned we have at least one person coming from all 100 Chapters meaning we will have 100% Chapter participation at AEC. (This is a HUGE deal)! We are excited to have our Chapters come spend the weekend with their fellow JA sisters. There is much to learn and much fun to be made! Finish your packing, and hit the road! AEC 2013 in Memphis is going to "roll on" with fun and friends!

NAJA Foundation "Friends"
The NAJA President and Ex-Officio serve on the NAJA Foundation by virtue of their elected position. Foundation Trustees are appointed by the Ex-Officio for a term. The NAJA Foundation raises funds on behalf of the association and donates money back to chapters in need through AEC grants and Child Welfare Project service grants.
The Foundation supports NAJA and our chapters in other ways, as well. This year, an online auction was held where over $11,000 was raised by bidders bidding on Viking appliances, trips, and more. The Foundation will again host the Presidents reception at AEC. And the Foundation partnered with NAJA to share costs of the constant contact email marketing system Headquarters now uses to improve communication with our members.
The Foundation has also established an annual giving campaign to recognize donors. Donors from $10-to over $5,000 can donate to the Foundation. They receive a ribbon at AEC, and will be recognized aim the Fall Crownlet.
We hope lots of our members will support the Foundation! Beau, my 9 year old heard me working with the Foundation one night. He heard me say members could give just $10 and be a "friend" of the Foundation. He disappeared to his room and returned with a wad of $1 bills and said, "Mama, I want to be a friend of the Foundation. Here is my $10." Bless him! And what blessings to NAJA, the Foundation Trustees, are!
