Your Contributions at Work!
The staff and families at Baltimore City's Woodhome Elementary and Middle School truly appreciated BOMA's Community Service's our financial support for their 1st annual Family Reading Night held on Thursday, February 28, 2013. The event was structured by the school staff and PTA for families of grades K-2. Ellen Fortune Uszenski, Reading Specialist and Renee Brockington, PTA President were co-creators of the event. Our support provided Pizza and a new book for each child. The purpose of reading night is to provide a memorable experience for the children and families where literacy is the focus. The goal is to increase parental involvement in reading on a daily basis. Families learned new ways to help their child read at home by playing educational literacy games and reading to each other. The event emphasized that reading is fun & an important aspect of their family lives. Each child took home a book to add to their personal "libraries" at home. The Battle Family attended!

The Jackson Family (below) Our History In June 2003, Marty Josephs and the BOMA Board established the BOMA Community Service Committee under the direction of former president, Marc Fischer. The Committee's mission is to serve the greater Baltimore region by identifying, evaluating, and providing opportunities for BOMA members to positively impact the community. In the past, the Community Service Committee has supported organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Sarah's House, S.A.R.C. (Sexual Assault Recovery Center), Adelante Familia, Forbush School, Kennedy Krieger - P.A.C.T., Susan G. Komen, Moveable Feast and The Maryland Food Bank. In 2007, the Community Service Committee created the debut legacy program, LEAP (Literary Empowerment Advocacy Program). Utilizing the resources of BOMA Baltimore's membership base, LEAP is designed to make an immediate and lastingimpact on our community by enriching the education of our youth. The committee adopted Woodhome Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore City as our first partner. Together with our BOMA members, LEAP renovated the Woodhome library in 2008. When all was said and renovated, the library had new ceiling tiles, paint, shelving, tables and chairs, and books. In 2009, LEAP renovated the teacher's lounge as part of the First Annual Day of Service. For additional project information see the www.boma-leap.org. This Committee is always seeking new members to support the planning and execution of future projects. If you are passionate about community service and enjoy working with a great team, this is the opportunity for you.
