In memory of APEC volunteer gift shop managers Barbara and David Friedman, APEC is accepting donations in their honor. In addition to volunteer gift shop manager, Barbara Friedman served as secretary of our board of directors for over 30 years. We thank both of them for their contributions to our center and cherish the memories they left behind.
