AMLI Boo Bash

 

ACGC would like to thank AMLI Residential for hosting a spooktacular fundraiser.  This year's annual Halloween Boo Bash raised over $1,500!  AMLI residents and staff also purchased several items off of 

our wish list and brought them by the center.  

Thank you for your commitment to our community!
