ABCares helps get ready for Blue Gold game 

The ABCares Committee and ABC members helped the DFRC get ready for the annual Blue & Gold game on June 19.

ABC members helped with tent set-up and the needed tables & chairs, hung banners from the high schools participating game, and helped set up the drink refrigerators for the consession stands.

"Thanks to the members who gave of their time on a Saturday morning to help with the great cause," said ABCares Chair Sallie Ann Conner. "Since 1956, the DFRC has raised $5M to help groups that help Delawareans with intellectual disabilities and ABCares is pleased to be able to help."

The next project is Operation Backpack with the Sunday Breakfast Mission in August. Watch your e-mail for details.

"Thanks to all the ABC members and their families who took time from their busy weekend schedules to help this month with the ABCares project at the Boys & Girls Club in Claymont," said ABCares Chair Sallie Ann Conner. "We accomplished alot in four hours including painting lots and lots of poles that create the entrace-way and cleaning out a long neglected courtyard where kids can now play. The weather cooperated and we had a great day!"

ABCares & ABC Student Chapters team up for project in Middletown

The ABC Delaware Students Chapters and ABCares teamed up for a painting renovation project in Middletown last week. Students at St. George's cleaned, repaired shutters for the house in their shop and then painted them and the house on Saturday, November 7.

"It was a great day for ABC," said Chapter President Ed Capodanno. "The students working with ABC members was great to see, and it gave our members a chance to chat with the future employees of the construction industry. We look forward to more joint projects."

Special Thanks to Interstate Aerials for the use of the lift during the week of activities at the house.
