AEC Living Supports Girls Inc of the Island City

July 10, 2015/in AEC Living, In the Community /by Moira M

Last night we were honored to be recognized as a STRONG Partner of Girls Inc of the Island City. AEC Living supports our local community. Giving back and community participation are two of our core values, and giving back to our local youth is both an honor and a pleasure. The children of Alameda do so much for us: kindergartners entertain us with their songs, elementary and middle school students visit us to show off their musical style and reading skills, and local high school students work with residents to learn about the history of popular art and entertainment, it is our pleasure to support those organizations that work to support them.
