• Toys For Tots! - November/December 2007

             Start collecting new, unwrapped toys for our collection boxes!  Toys will be given to the local Marine Reserve Unit for their annual, national toy drive benefiting needy children.  Be on the lookout for collection boxes during the month of November - we will place them in ACB classroom 100 and 150, various nursing classrooms, and Student Affairs offices for the various departments.  More information to follow!

 

• TMA/AMA Health Fair - May 8th from 4-7pm

     We will host a booth, hand out pamphlets, calculate BMIs, and our audience make healthier decisions to live a more active lifestyle.  The Health fair will be located at the United Supermarket on Parkway Dr.  All military contract students are encouraged to wear their ACUs/BDUs. 

     Topics in out booth will be targeted to three age groups: pediatrics, adolescent/adults, and elderly.  Information within each group will include age-specific risk factors, health complications, physical fitness ideas/tips/programs, and the benefits of living a more active lifestyle.

      Please let one of our officers know if you are interested in helping with this event!
