Alabama Chapter Sponsors Busy Fall Schedule
by Olivia Fralish, Alabama DDS

THE ALABAMA ASSOCIATION OF DISABILITY Examiners has had a busy Fall. We had a Bar B Q Luncheon fund raiser in October.

We sold Bar B Q sandwiches, slaw, potato salad and baked beans. As always food fund-raisers are successful for us! We also raised money for one of our Mobile examiners who lost everything compliments of Hurricane Georges. We held a Christmas party for A.A.D.E. members on December 4 at a local Mexican Restaurant.
Those attending had a good time. A.A.D.E. hosted a coffee as a way to say thank you to our agency for all their support. Our staff enjoyed donuts, coffee and juice. A.A.D.E. members were also called on by administration to work with them to formulating responses to the FPM & redesign issues that are in the works. A.A.D.E. sponsored a silent suction which raised over $400 for our Christmas charities.

This was well received in our agency and many expressed that it was so much fun. We had our annual Christmas luncheon on December 16 with no exchange of presents among members.
