One of the strong points of working with Alternatives in Motion this school year and in the past is that they work so well with local communities. If there is a need in your community - someone needs mobility assistance, they work closely with the school to fundraise and promote events. This is a wonderful way to raise money because the schools know where the money is going and they can see it firsthand. For us here on staff at MASC/MAHS, we've always worked with the Charity of the Year in a very different way. We facilitate the process between them and the member schools. This year, something happened that allowed us a unique interaction with our Charity of the Year, Alternatives in Motion. Below is a letter I wrote to the staff of Alternatives in Motion (AIM) today...

Hey Center Eight/Michigan leaders!

I hope you all are learning the ins and outs of the new website! I'm still a rookie myself, but I learn more every time I log on! I'm here to keep you updated about the MASC/MAHS world and inform you of the opportunities for you to excel in StuCo and NHS as well as leadership.

Hello everyone, my name is Marco Tori! I am a senior at Pinckney High School and your Center 5 & 6 MAHS Representative.

Wow, it's so cool to be using this amazing new website. MASC/MAHS has some of the best technology among all the state organizations for Student Councils and Honor Societies. We are lucky to have such great administration who teaches us to use all these amazing tools! Keep playing around and get other students at your school involved!

Just a few quick updates:
