I have to smile when folks ask me what BDPA is all about. I've been a member of the organization for over 20 years. I see what is being accomplished in our 50 chapters on a regular basis. BDPA New Jersey is the 11th largest chapter in the nation. BDPA New Jersey, BDPA Education & Technology Foundation, Merck & Company and Prudential worked together to obtain up to 200 laptop computers to raffle off to students later this month.
The 5th Annual 'Families in Technology Day' hosted by BDPA New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Technology takes place on May 31, 2008. The theme for the day is 'Technology Awareness = Community Empowerment'. There will be technology workshops and other activities sponsored by Public Services Enterprise Group, Microsoft and UBS Investment Bank.
Students in grades 3-12, accompanied by their parents are eligible for the FREE LAPTOPS!
Students must submit a paragraph on how they can benefit from the use of a laptop. The paragraph must consist of at least four sentences. Originality, sincerity and good grammar are important. Paragraphs must be emailed to BDPA New Jersey chapter by May 23.
