FA 初中的音樂計畫. 及英文輔助或資優生計畫. AEF是學區中唯一政府之外能核發薪水給老師的非營利組織, 目前它在今年Chase Community Giving program 中的排名掉至第十二名. 我們需要您的幫忙 !! 不敢奢求太多, 務請大家在五月二十五日晚間九時以前到臉書( Facebook )上投票給 AEF, 讓它能回到十名以內, 如此學區能得到 $100,000 的贊助, 而不是現在的 $40,000. 這真的差很大 !!! 也請您能把亞凱迪亞學區的困境告知所有朋友, 請他們都到 Facebook 上投票給 AEF. 沒有 Facebook 戶頭的朋友趕快開一個, 請相信團結一致我們可扭轉劣勢. 如果您收到很多類似的 e-mail, 請原諒我們為了孩子. 為了學區叨擾您. 您可直接到 http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/953651495-aef 投票, 您的一票至關重要, 您的影響力更為可觀. 謝謝您的支持與幫助 ! 您的朋友於亞凱迪亞 From holly-avepta@ausd.net Sat May 28 00:53:43 2011 From: holly-avepta@ausd.net (Holly-AvePTA Holly-AvePTA) Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 16:53:43 -0700 Subject: [Holly-Ave] What's Happening Next Week @ Holly?
