			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last fall at the SWASAP Conference attendees were given a beautiful red <strong>Piggy Got Bank</strong>. President Bates encouraged everyone to fill it with their spare change and in June to send what had accumulated to COE Fair Share.  Well, let&#8217;s not send the change, but the dollar amount it represents - smile!  She also encouraged us to take pictures of Piggy&#8217;s travels.   We&#8217;d love to see where your Piggy has been, so send us the pictures or post them to FB and tag SWASAP. Piggy&#8217;s been busy! #TRiOWorks</p>
