JASH Weekly Update 9/2: Happy JASH Anniversary Month!
Dear Members and Friends of JASH, September is JASH’s anniversary month, and this year it’s a big one as JASH turns 45! Although we can’t celebrate in person, we feel so fortunate to be part of two great fundraising events, the Visitor Industry Charity Walk and Foodland’s Give Aloha campaign (#77966), and are thrilled to host a special 45th anniversary photo contest for our members. These three take place throughout September, so be sure to keep your eye on our Weekly Updates, Facebook, and Instagram for the latest event news! And don’t worry---we haven’t forgotten about our annual anniversary program, which took place last year as our virtual Annual Gala & Silent Auction. Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy cooking up new ways to safely celebrate with you all. We hope to share the details with you soon, so stay tuned!
