AAIM invites you to join us for our 24th Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration!
This is AAIM's premiere fall event, bringing together over 1000 people to share
in gratitude for the gifts and blessings of our world. Last year we sent a strong and loving message to faith communities around the country -- that our nation was founded on the strength of diversity and the acceptance of all religions. It is this strength, this inclusiveness, that we celebrate each year in our Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration.
Please join us as we unite in this year's theme of Peace.
Participating Congregations, Organizations, and Individuals:
Congregations -- We ask that you bring food dishes that can be shared by all and
include a list of ingredients. Please contact Sandy Wilder (swilder@texas.net
[mailto:swilder@texas.net]) to coordinate food contributions.
If you are a community organization that would like to set up an information table,
please contact AAIM at aaim@aaimaustin.org [mailto:aaim@aaimaustin.org] or by phone,
512-386-9145.
Parking is available on 13th St. and Lavaca, as well as on the street (meters are
free on Sunday).

How To Use Community Section of YCG
One of the most difficult things facing us in developing this site is to direct you most easily to the resource you need. We take our name very seriously and a guide to a community as richly, diverse as ours is difficult to lead you through click by click. The section titled COMMUNITY has become the home of all the things that, frankly, don't fit easily anywhere else. This is where you will find:
1) Local Churches, Mosques, Synagogues . . .
Search by denomination and take a moment to complete a survey for your congregation on disaster preparedness. We need your help in researching and collecting data for TIDR and AAIM on this important topic (do a KEYWORD search for more information on these two local organizations).
2) Pets . . .
Everything from Adoption to Wildlife Resources - how about starting the New Year right with a CPR Class for you and your Pet?
3) Financial & Legal . . .
Divorce, Employment, Mediation - this section covers it all.
4) Parties, Classes, Libraries, Museums, . . .
One of the most popular categories on our site. This is definitely a PARTY town!
5) Free and Low-Cost Services . . .
6) Sports - Competitive Activities
