Aging and Public Health APH Section Award Ceremony/Reception Donations Needed

As we head to Denver, we find ourselves unable to fund our Award Ceremony the way we have done in the past. We find ourselves $2,500 short for the Award Ceremony/Reception. We have already cut our expenses by 50 percent for the Award Ceremony/Reception. We are planning to order a large cake to celebrate the renaming of our group to the Aging and Public Health Section. We still need to order award plaques and certificates for the Philip Weiler Leadership Award (Marcia Ory, PhD, is the winner) and the Aging and Public Health Section Lifetime Achievement Award (Laurence G. Branch, PhD, is the winner). We will still have some hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and coffee. We realize the tenor of the times, and have significantly reduced our needs. Any help you could give to our celebration will be greatly appreciated. Checks should be sent to Gerry Eggert, PhD, Development Co-chair, 55 Branchwood Lane, Rochester, NY 14618. I will insure that all checks are forwarded to APHA for deposit in the APH Section Enrichment Account # 328063.
Many thanks for considering this request.
