Service Projects
Throughout the Annual Meeting, we will be making cards for Cards for Hospitalized Kids. This organization spreads hope, joy, and a little bit of magic to children in hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses across the country by delivering uplifting, handmade cards created by volunteers - simple messages that can make a big difference in a child’s day. You can help purchase materials needed to make the cards through the SACME Service Project Amazon List.
We will also assemble a few potty training kits for The Nest, a Lexington-based non-profit organization that aims to prevent the abuse and neglect of children and adults by supporting families in crisis through education, counseling, advocacy, and resources. One of the many services offered is supporting families with children ages 0 to 5 by providing essential items needed to thrive during challenging times. More information can be found at their website.
Horsin' Around
In the spirit of Lexington’s horse farms and love for horse racing, SACME will take a break for a little horseplay on Monday, March 23, 2026, 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM. We will have a bouncy-horse racing event during this time, and we will also have a photo-finish photo-op for attendees!
Sign up at the registration desk onsite for a chance to challenge your colleagues to a race and compete for the first place medal, or take your turn at horseshoes and lassoing. Expect great fun for both players and spectators alike!
