SCAAR Monthly Committee Updates

April | 2023

The PR Committee is running this billboard in May. Watch for it!

Humanitarian Committee

Spring is arriving!

As you are cleaning out your closets and putting away that winter gear, think about setting aside the extra or outgrown items for Project Connect this fall.

Remember, if you are participating in a non-profit event, make sure to request that $50 member benefit for the organization you are supporting.

There is still time to get those scholarship applications in! We are giving away three $1000 scholarships for the 2023-2024 school year!

Thank you,

Your Humanitarian Committee
