ALNC has had a very fortunate year. With the support of our community and membership we have been able to fund all our programs beyond our original budget and increase the scholarship program from $25,000 to $50,000. On Friday we received a grant from St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carlsbad Knights of Columbus for $2,000 to use toward our Operation School Bell programs that support children in Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista.  Angela, Bear, our grant writer, and her husband Joe are an amazing team. This is the second grant program Joe has discovered that helped bring funding to our chapter.
