  • Letter from the Co-President

    Dear APPPAH Members and Nonmembers,

    We need your help on two fronts, one financial, the other, input. Membership dues provide a significant portion of our budget, but do not allow us the ability to cover the costs of political action to advocate and make important changes in our society, nor do they allow important service upgrades for our membership. If the changes and upgrades described below matter to you, please renew your membership for multiple years and invite others to join. Alternatively, your tax deductible donations would be deeply appreciated.
