The API Lends a Hand in the Big Easy!
During the 2009 API Conference, a handful of conference attendees
gave up their Saturday afternoon to participate in a community service
project benefiting the Beacon of Hope. The project? Painting the inside
of a gym at the Hope United Church that was destroyed during Hurricane
Katrina. Despite the 100 degree temperature, this group never complained
and got the project done! Thanks to everyone who participated in this
event - the bonding between the attendees, the final result and the
smile on the pastor's face made it all worth it!
