For the past four years, ASPET members attending the ASPET Annual
Meeting at EB 2013 have spent a day volunteering in the local
communities of the host city: In 2009, we built homes with Habitat for
Humanity in the Upper 9th Ward in New Orleans; in 2010, 2011, and 2012
we prepared and served meals to homeless residents of Pasadena,
Washington, DC, and San Diego, respectively. The Behavioral Pharmacology
Division of ASPET is again sponsoring a volunteer opportunity prior to its Annual Meeting in Boston. We will spend Friday, April 19, 2013, helping Cradles to Crayons provide children living in homeless or low-income situations in Boston
with the essential items they need to thrive. Special thanks to Iggy’s Bread of the World, Shaw's, Star Market, and Stop & Shop for their generous donations to help feed our volunteers! Further details will
follow to those who express an interest in volunteering. If you plan to
join us, please contact Charles P. France at france@uthscsa.edu, 210-567-6969 (voice), or 210-567-0104 (fax) at your earliest convenience.
