November is here! The leaves are falling, the air is chilling, the holidays are around the corner, and so is Giving Tuesday! Next week we will be kicking off our annual giving campaign, YOU are the Connection. As someone who has supported ASGA in some way or participated in one of our many programs or events, you have connected families, like your own, to each other, to new friends, and to our community. We hope you will consider ASGA in your end of the year giving plans and help us continue to connect our community with important supports and programs. Look for more information in your email and on our social media pages. Thank you for being the connection and supporting ASGA. |
