Cradles to Crayons School Supply Drive 1FOOTZMWBOJB$POWFOUJPO$FOUFSt/PWFNCFSo  During the Convention, we will be holding a drive for school supplies to benefit Cradles to Crayons. Cradles to Crayons is a local organization that provides low-income and homeless children the basic essentials they need to be safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. Cradles to Crayons partners with other social-service organizations in the Philadelphia area to connect communities that have surplus resources with communities that desperately need access to those resources. The organization provides, free of charge, packages of clothes, shoes, books, toys, baby safety equipment and school supplies to children. Last year, Cradles to Crayons distributed “Kidpacks” to 16,000 children in the Philadelphia area. Collection bins for donated items are located in the Pennsylvania Convention Center near the ASHA Information Counter on Level I near the shuttle drop off and at the ASHA Information Counter on Level 2 in the Grand Hall.

Getting Around Philadelphia Center City & Convention Center Area Philadelphia is a walkable city and many areas are easily accessible on foot, however, visitors do have other transportation options. ASHA members are encouraged to use the free shuttles that will be running from the Convention Center to the ASHA hotels. Evening shuttles will run after any official ASHA event. SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) operates an extensive network of buses, subways, trolleys, and regional rail lines which allow you to navigate not only Center City but the surrounding region. You’ll find SEPTA schedules, maps and fare information, as well as a Trip Planner tool that can help you plan your itinerary on SEPTA’s Web site. In addition, Philadelphia has more than 1,600 licensed and trained taxi cabs which are available at all hours and can be hailed on most streets to take you where you need to go.

Safety First Remember that remaining alert and aware of your surroundings is important. Before venturing out from your hotel, you may wish to consult with the concierge or front desk to make sure your destination is in a safe area. Try to avoid walking alone, especially at night. Always remember to remove your ASHA badge when you are outside the Convention Center or hotel.
