Holiday Project:
Wrapping Gifts for HELPline
December 12, 2006
-- Members gave of their time to help with a community service
project to wrap gifts for the Crisis Services Center of North
Alabama on December 12.
HELPline is Crisis
Services' 24 hours-a-day source for emotional first aid,
information, and referrals for people who need help. Hundreds
of volunteers man booths at the local malls and wrap gifts from
early December through Christmas Eve to lend a hand in HELPline's
most important fundraiser of the year.
NAPRCA took on the
task December 12 at Parkway Place, sporting new PRCA Service
tee-shirts.
If you'd
still like to
purchase a tee-shirt, you'll be ready for the next service project,
and a portion of your $12 will go toward the Michael K. Simmons
scholarship fund. Contact Rosa Kilpatrick if you're interested
in the next reorder.
Part
of PRCA's mission is to support the community through the
use
of our members' public relations skills. The North Alabama
chapter attempts to achieve this part of our mission on several
levels.
Community Service Projects:
Each year PRCA sponsors projects that benefits non-profit
organizations
in the community.
Student
Mentoring:
The professional chapter sponsors two local student chapters
at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and the University
of North Alabama (UNA).
Michael K. Simmons Memorial Scholarship:
Each spring we award a student a $1,000 scholarship. Applications
available.
