Another Successful Positive Tomorrows School Supply Drive!!

Our members did another outstanding job for our annual Positive Tomorrows School Supply Drive at our August meeting!!! Not only did we raise over $800 in monetary donations, there was an abundance of school supplies donated. We truly enjoy when we can present a representative from Positive Tomorrows with all the goodies and we especially love having Rachel Durham, the Positive Tomorrows Development Officer, attend our luncheons and give us the latest report. It is heartwarming to hear about the children and the school. In addition to the school supply drive, our members also had the opportunity to take a tour of Positive Tomorrows. Please take a moment to watch the video and view the photos. And thank you to all who donated and participated!! We are so proud to have the best members!! #COALA

August Meeting ~ School Drive for Positive Tomorrows

Good afternoon COALA members!!

Please join us at our next meeting to hear Kim Tran of Fellers Snider Law Firm who will be speaking on legal technology - graphic creation tools, digital presentation platforms and productivity apps.

This is a friendly reminder that we will be collecting items and donations for the Positive Tomorrows School Supply Drive at our meeting next Friday, August 10. In addition to the items on the needs list which will be posted below in the comments, we've been asked to inform everyone that the school is in great need of art supplies.

“Education is the key to ending the cycle of homelessness and poverty. By helping to support the family, we make it possible for children to learn.”

A representative from Positive Tomorrows will be attending our meeting next week, so let’s make this drive awesome and show them how COALA supports its community!

Contact us today to make your reservation!!

July Meeting Recap

Another fantastic turn out of our members and affiliate members at today's luncheon!! Well done! 

Today's speaker, Melissa Lujan Law, discussed immigration law which has been a hot topic lately. The takeaways are the importance of staying informed about policy changes, educated about the history and background of asylum and minors at the border, and aware of the obstacles individuals have to overcome to obtain citizenship.

See ya'll at Cocktails & Conversation on July 19 and our next meeting on August 10! #COALA
