Community Events
Many are the educational events in which AHAM participates throughout the year. These include, Cat in the Hat of Ready 4 Reading and
Opening Doors, initiative of Graduate Greenville.
Ready 4 Reading formerly known as Lapsits for Early Literacy is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission “guides underserved parents and
caregivers of primarily newborns through 48 month olds to create a love of books, develop readiness for reading, and provide children's
books in homes.”

Each year, from mid-September through mid-October, AHAM continues participating in this celebration with organizations such as the
USC-Upstate, the Greenville Library System, and Furman University.
In October 1998, AHAM began celebrating the Hispanic Heritage Month at the Greer-Jean M. Smith Public Library by showcasing folkloric
dresses, traditional food and artistic displays . In 1999 we started collaborating with Furman University with a Latin Music presentation
and Dessert Reception, AHAM members bring regional desserts and savory dishes to share. Members also perform with dances and
artistic presentations from various Latin American countries.
