What members are saying...

  •  

    After seeing many organizations I saw that SAASOA is very enterprising and are a core of the business community in and around Alabama. SAASOA is doing a lot of  good for the people in the community by doing many activities like Blood Camps, Health Fairs, Volunteering activities, Scholarships, etc. I am lucky to be a part of a group like this and I encourage my friends and community members to be a part of SAASOA.

  • In the nearly 2 years that we have been partnered with SAAAOA we have seen a growth in sales, profits and customer count in their group’s stores. The key to maximizing this is to become more seamless in execution,pricing and positioning. I am excited about the future with SAASOA and Coca-Cola.

Dear Friends,

 
As you may have heard by now, President Obama has taken Executive Action to help fix our broken immigration system. 
 
There are many components to this action, however, there is a large group of people that will be immediately affected by these changes. 
The biggest group of people that these Executive Actions will affect are those people who are here in the United States without legal status AND who are the parents to a child (over or under 21) who is a United States Citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident (green card holder). 
This group of people will be allowed to apply for and receive work permits. This in turn will allow them to apply for social security numbers, drivers licenses, bank accounts, credit cards, and so much more. 
Once approved, they will also be eligible to apply for Advance Parole - this will let them travel out of the country for a specified reason.
 
The second group of people that are affected by the President’s actions are those who were brought to this country before they turned 16.
A program for these children in already in place (DACA), however, they are now expanding this program to include people who have lived in the United States since January 1, 2010. There are also no age limits. 
For example, if you came in before you turned 16 and are now 44 years old - you qualify for this program.
 
I am sending you this email so you may know a little more about the President’s actions last night. I have attached a graphic that allows you to see if you, your family or your friends qualify for this relief. Please feel free to share this with your community. If there are any questions or clarifications that are needed on this program, please do not hesitate to contact me. Our office is fully prepared to assist you and your family and friends take advantage of these new forms of relief.
