ACTS stands for Acting Creates Therapeutic Success. Participation in the dramatic arts enhances physical, cognitive, and psychosocial behaviors. Participants are encouraged to contribute in all areas of the creative process. ACTS is a community based program for individuals with disabilities designed to provide opportunities for participation in the performing arts. MARK YOUR CALENDAR - ACTS in the Rock will perform again at the 5th annual Curtain Call for a Cause event on Thursday, June 4th at the Argenta Community Theater in North Little Rock.

The award was presented in November at the annual Philanthropy Day banquet hosted by AFP. This honor is awarded to volunteers that demonstrate exceptional commitment through direct financial contributions, support of programs and projects, and evidence of the profound impact of their volunteer service. Congratulations to a well deserving group of volunteers who have supported AEDD for over six years!

Friday (1922-1994) Jim Hinson (1939-2013) The “inTuition” Jim Hinson Spirit of Giving Award Luncheon was held in November to remember our friend and mentor, Jim Hinson, former CFO and board member of AEDD who passed away on Christmas day 2013. Jim devoted much of his life to advocating for those with special needs and celebrated the holidays by growing out his gray beard, donning his velvet Santa suit and entertaining children and adults alike by listening to their Christmas wishes. The Jim Hinson Spirit of Giving award was presented to three individuals who have given their time, talent and treasure to help others in the community. This award upholds Jim’s philosophy of giving back and making a difference. Funds raised from inTuition created a scholarship fund for 3D students attending the Pulaski Technical College Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Institute. Current 3D students helped prep and serve food during the luncheon and were a great example of how successful the program is in preparing individuals with disabilities to work in the food industry in our community. Jim Hinson Spirit of Giving Honorees Rusty Mathis General Manager Ben E. Keith Company Julie Mayberry Founder “I Can! Dance” Studios for Special Needs Sammie Gail Sanders Children’s Learning Center Toy Drive The holidays were merry and bright at our preschool this year because of the overwhelming response to our annual toy drive. Not only did we receive numerous toy donations, but also many generous cash donations as well. Every child at the preschool received a toy, which brought many, many smiles! Special thanks to the following groups: Sergeant De’Costa with the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots, Carol Slattery and Crye-Leike Realty, Hazel Thomas and Bumper to Bumper, Bug Masters, Allied Therapy, Beyond Boundaries, NLR Chamber of Commerce and Natasha Graf’s Office. Bill Simpson Pulaski Co. Public Defender 40 Year Jr. Deputy Baseball Volunteer UNITED WAY GRANT FUNDS PLAYGROUND PROJECT AEDD received a $35,000 grant from the Heart of Arkansas United Way to help fund a playground expansion project at Sammie Gail Sanders Children’s Learning Center. New additions include a covered area for rainy day play, riding track for mobile toys, toddler play area and equipment for children in wheelchairs. Our goal is to provide play areas for all children attending the preschool. Thank You United Way! Non-Profit Organization U.S. POSTAGE PAID Little Rock, AR Permit No. 306 JINGLE JUBILEE HOLIDAY PARADE 2014 There’s “Snow Place” like Sammie Gail Sanders Children’s Learning Center was the theme for this year’s entry in the Little Rock Christmas Parade. Big thanks to: the Central High Jr. Civitan Club and club sponsor Lee Conrad for building an awesome float, Craig Cloud for driving the truck, the kids and parents from the preschool who participated and our Auxiliary members who helped put it all together! Craig O’Neill was presented with the 2014 “Champion for a Cause” award at our 6th annual Hawgs for a Cause fundraiser in October. The event is hosted by our Auxiliary and raised over $35,000! A new addition to the event was BBQ provided by Woo Pig Q-ee and cooked on the “Big Frank” Razorback grill formerly owned by the late Jennings Osborne. As tradition stands everyone “pigged out” on delicious BBQ and all the trimmings. Thirsts were quenched with beverages donated by Glazer’s, which flowed throughout the evening. Of course, Craig O’Neill donned his Brother Hawg attire and had the entire room calling the Hogs to kick off a fantastic evening of eating, drinking, dancing, bidding on tons of great auction items and generally having a great time! Live auction winners went home with a 1/2 carat diamond ring, cookout for 25 hosted by Dallas Cowboys grillmaster Randy Lann, two tickets to wherever Southwest Airlines flies, an Arkansas staycation package and a golfer’s weekend trip to Old Waverly Golf Club resort. Bill Gray was the lucky winner of the $1,000 raffle prize and Chuck Marshall won the consolation prize of $200. Hawgs for a Cause, AEDD’s signature event, has grown each year from the support of our sponsors, donors and patrons. Proceeds from the event will help fund the addition of playground equipment at our preschool for toddlers and those in wheelchairs.
