Oil Patch Bits: AADE presents three local charities with checks

The American Association of Drilling Engineers Alaska chapter at its Sept. 16 monthly meeting presented three local charities with checks totaling $7,500.

The AADE celebrated another successful Fin, Feather, Fur, Food Festival on May 15; the proceeds of the event brought in an astounding $22,588, monies which are divided to help support local charities, AADE engineering educational initiatives such as the Knowledge Box and AADE’s scholarship fund.

The three local charities to each receive a $2,500 check were the Kid’s Kitchen, Downtown Soup Kitchen and Bean’s Café. “Thank you for your help and don’t forget, no child should ever go hungry,” said Elgin Jones, accepting the check on behalf of the Kid’s Kitchen.

The AADE, a nonprofit volunteer organization, was founded in New Orleans in 1978 and comprises an affiliation of nine independent chapters, including Alaska, with more than 5,000 members and governed by an AADE National Board.
