ARAS promotes literacy by donating thousands of books
each year to families in need, tent city residents and social service
agencies who share these written treasures with their clients. If
you have children’s books or novels that your family no longer
needs, please consider donating them to our Promoting Literacy Program.
Please contact Mary Trask at 360-366-8421 or send an email to

Success Coaching
Bob Trask conducts weekly success coaching sessions; both individually and
with groups on conference calls and webinars. Participants receive tools
and materials that help them as they are guided through the process to their
visions. Bob believes we each are here with a divine mission to fulfill,
that unless we discover it and get busy, our lives cannot be fulfilled and
will be much more a struggle than they need be. Write to Bob at bob@arasfoundation.org
for more information.
