GET INVOLVED WITH WMCCAI!
The Public Outreach Committee is committed to engaging with the communities that our members live in and serve. Two upcoming ways to participate in community outreach through WMCCAI are the 2022 Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day (4/23/2022) and supporting the 2022 WMCCAI Scholarship Program.
POTOMAC WATERSHED CLEAN-UP DAY
April 23, 2022

Planning efforts for the 2022 WMCCAI Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day initiative are underway! The WMCCAI Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day is scheduled for April 23, 2022.   

Our goal each year is to match site leaders with our CAI communities that are interested in participating in the clean-up project. The deadline to finalize the clean-up sites for the 2022 Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day is April 1, 2022. Communities that are interested in serving as clean-up sites should email Elisabeth Kirk (ekirk@trc-engineering.com) or Liz Schell (eschell@caidc.org) to get further information about registering a site.  

Some communities that have expressed interest in participating as a clean-up site are still without assigned site leaders. Business partners that are interested in partnering with a community without a site leader should also contact Elisabeth Kirk (ekirk@trc-engineering.com) or Judith McNelis (jmcnelis@cac4101.com).

To sign up to participate as a volunteer or to sponsor the 2022 WMCCAI Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day, visit the WMCCAI website to learn more.
2022 WMCCAI SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Deadline: April 15, 2022

The WMCCAI Scholarship Contest is open to all high school seniors within the WMCCAI service area. In 2021, we raised just over $3,000 and were able to provide scholarship awards to three winners. In 2022, we are hoping to reach our goal of raising $5,000! 

To help us reach our $5,000 fundraising goal, the Public Outreach Committee is collecting contest sponsorships, as well as personal donations. *Share the LOVE & Donate Online Today to the 2022 Scholarship Program for a chance to win in our 50/50 Raffle contest!* All donations given thru Valentine's Day (2/14) will be entered to win!

Companies interested in sponsoring this year's Scholarship Program should contact Liz Schell at eschell@caidc.org for more information. Donations can be made online at www.caidc.org/scholarship-program, or in person at select in-person WMCCAI events in coming weeks.

In addition to helping Public Outreach fundraise for the Scholarship Contest, please encourage the associations that you work with or live in to share information about the Scholarship Contest with high school seniors living in those communities. The deadline for student submissions is April 15, 2022.

We hope that you will join us on April 23rd for the 2022 Potomac Watershed Clean-Up Day and help contribute to a scholarship that will benefit a deserving high school senior.

Crystal Coats, CMCA, AMS, PCAM & Lauren Ritter, ESQ.
