As a result of the outstanding efforts of the Resource Development Committees including the sales from the award-winning Resale Shop, a spectacular Annual Fundraising Event, Carnevale di Venezia, and a hard-working and successful Grants Committee, Assistance League^® of the Bay Area has been able to continue to strengthen lives through the Community Outreach Committee.

The latest activity was the presentation of Teacher Innovative Grants through the Dickinson Education Foundation.

On Friday, May 4, grants totaling $4,500 were distributed to Lawanda Williams at Lobit Middle School, Sarah Bradford at Lobit Elementary, Rebecca Autry at McAdams Junior High, Heather Petwax and Elizabeth Welch at Bay Colony Elementary, and Robert Seals at Hughes Road Elementary.
