Spring is upon us and I'm happy to see our rates of COVID-19 dropping here in Palm Springs and Riverside County. Now, let's keep it up and continue to observe prevention protocols until they are no longer needed.

 

I would like to express my gratitude to our friends at Postal Palm Springs, who had a promotion for the entire month of March that benefitted AAP. Postal Palm Springs co-owners Steve Benavides and Michael Rueb said “Every act of charity contributes toward improving lives and the community in which we live." It's too soon to know the totals yet, and I'll announce that next month, but we anticipate a considerable donation.

 

We are planning to hold our annual Independence Day Celebration at the O'Donnell House on July 4. It'll be great to be able to get together, and I'm planning a great meal served in picnic baskets for groups of 2 or 4 with ample room to sit and eat. Tickets will go on sale on May 1.

 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 9! We're putting together a special outdoor event in celebration of our supporters. Details will be announced as they unfold.

 

Please remember that we rely on community support to serve the most needful among us, and help out if you can. Join the Angel Program (click here) or make a one-time contribution (click here). We can't do this without you!

 

Thank you for your continuing support.

 

Sincerely,

Mark Anton

C.E.O./Executive Director
