This year’s ATSA conference in Kansas City, Missouri, will be offering a new event the day before the conference starts. As part of ATSA’s commitment to corporate responsibility and as a thank you to our host community, we are holding a half-day public service event the afternoon of October 24 for a regional nonprofit –  Sunflower House – which assists children who have been physically and sexually abused. We will be providing a range of services from helping clean and organize the interior of the building, to doing some exterior landscaping, to stuffing envelopes, to organizing bags of toys for the children. There’s a project for everyone’s interest and abilities. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy a day of exercise and camaraderie as you help make a positive difference for children.
