We are excited about the upcoming fall season and look forward to engaging with you along the way!
We were thrilled to have a chance to connect with our alumni in the DMV area during our Summer Picnic. Thank you to those of you who joined us at Turner Farm – it was great seeing everyone come out for a good time and even better food!
If you weren’t able to join us at the picnic, we have a handful of regional and on-Grounds events coming up and hope to see you then.
Warmly,
AAPAAN
