Music Opens Doors
A concert to end homelessness
April 4, 2009
Mitchell Auditorium, St. Scholastica


Featuring LOW, Yeltzi with Sara Softich and Jasson Wussow, Clear with Peter Provost and Tom Wegren on Piano, spoken word by Ellie Schoenfeld and Kids of Life House.

AAF Duluth/Superior members have been helping St. Louis County and local non-profits promote this upcoming concert, which aims to raise funds and awareness for homelessness in the Northland. AAF’s support began this past fall with a college scholarship contest (see story below) focused on Heading Home St. Louis County. AAF first got college students involved as part of our educational mission, but we've been able to continue our support thanks to the volunteer efforts of professional members,” said Nicole Sandman, AAF president and public service committee chair.

AAF names scholarship recipients
We’re proud to announce that six local college students were awarded 2008-09 AAF Duluth/Superior scholarships.

Students who applied for the scholarships addressed the challenge of creating two promotional pieces and a creative strategy on the topic of “Creating Awareness about Homelessness in St. Louis County” for the Heading Home Saint Louis County Initiative to End Homelessness. The competition was judged in January 2009 by six AAF past presidents and two representatives from Heading Home Saint Louis County. The award winners will be presented scholarship awards at the April 14 AAF luncheon.
