3. We are developing a coffee house to offer our students, families and friends an opportunity to get together and enjoy good music, share their own talents (KARAOKE ANYONE?), enjoy good coffee (lots of flavors) and have a chance to test the waters in trying new songs with backup musicians. This program is in the development stages and if someone would like to help out with this project, we are needing people to market the coffee shop, perform, help build the stage, contact performers and volunteer to be "buddies" for the students who want to participate. If you are interested, please contact Marilynne Serie at 972 414-7700.
4. If you shop at Tom Thumb, please have your Tom Thumb card registered to the Achievement Center of Texas. Our number is 4833.
5. If you shop at Target, please stop in at the service desk and ask that your Target card be registered to the Achievement Center of Texas.
6. If you shop at Albertson's, stop in and register your Albertson's card to the Achievement Center of Texas.

Kroger, Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Target give us 1% of the purchases made on those cards. There is no cost to you and designating the Achievement Center of Texas significantly helps us financially.
DO YOU HAVE AN OLD CAR, VAN OR TRUCK TO DONATE, CALL CHARITY MOTORS AT (972)CHARITY or online at http://www.charitymotors.org and specify you want your donation to go to the Achievement Center of Texas.
