We are so pleased to announce a NEW and FIRST-EVER service project to take place at our annual meeting and Meeting Two in Tucson.  This meaningful addition to our program will take place outdoors at the resort on Friday, April 5th from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm.  The AIAMC will cover the costs of this event; however, pre-registration is required and limited to the first 75 people who sign up.

In 2002, Jeannette Maré’s life changed forever when her son, Ben, died suddenly just before his third birthday. In the months following his death, Jeannette and her friends and family began making ceramic wind chimes – the first Ben’s Bells – in her backyard studio. Being surrounded by supportive people and working with clay toward a common goal was therapeutic for her family and their healing.  Hear her moving story first-hand here: https://bensbells.org/about/founder-story/ 

Since 2003, Ben’s Bells has been operating as a nonprofit, growing kindness education programs, and continuing to distribute thousands of Bells every year. Today, Bells are found all over the world and their free kindness education programming has reached over 1.6 million students.

The leadership team at Ben’s Bells assures us no artistic talent is required and that all materials are non-toxic and non-staining.  There will be one-half hour between the end of this event and the start of our awards dinner, allowing you plenty of time to change clothes if you wish.  You also do not need to stay the entire 90 minutes, as the activity is organized for come-and-go-flow.

Enjoy a most memorable evening as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the AIAMC and honor the 2024 Weinberg and Innovation Award winners.  Please note that seating is limited and that a separate registration fee is required.  The registration fee covers your dinner and one complimentary drink ticket.
