NACA awarded matching grant; drive to raise funds underway The Northwood Appold Community Academy has been awarded a matching grant by the France-Merrick Foundation in the mount of $40,000. The grant will enable NACA to purchase and install a smart board, an LCD projector, a document camera, and a laptop computer in every classroom at NACA I (grades K-5) and NACA II (grades 6-10). The grant will be released once NACA raises the matching $40,000, then making a total of $80,000 which will cover the purchase and installation of the state-ofthe-art technology. Grace Church volunteers are currently partnering with NACA as tutors and other support personnel for these charter schools. Should you wish to make a tax-deductible donation to NACA to help it reach the matching goal amount, please make a check payable to “The Freedom and Democracy Schools Foundation” and mail it to: NACA (Northwood Appold Community Academy) c/o 4499 Loch Raven Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21218 An invitation to attend program on human trafficking Jeanne Allert of the Samaritan Women will continue our education on the economic rewards for those who sell bodies and hideous damages caused to those who are trapped to serve. The AAUW has chosen to partner with the Notre Dame of Maryland University to have a wider audience as we help the community increase its awareness of this growing, sickening industry. Please come to Notre Dame on Sunday, January 13 at 2:00 and bring your friends. High school and college students are encouraged to attend. Your will not like what you hear but you SHOULD HEAR IT. – Jean Smith
