Something to think about

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
-Leo Buscaglia

Ladies,
There is so much potential for us, through the work we do, to really make a difference. I hope that in everything you do that you remember this. When you're out in the community, whether it is with Junior Auxiliary or just in your daily life, I hope you realize the impact that you can make in someone's life...and you might not even realize it when you do. We've been given such a wonderful opportunity through J.A. to do a lot of good in Warren County...so let's keep up the great work and keep on making a difference in this community!

Welcome Provisionals!

We are pleased to announce that all of this year's proposed Provisional members were voted into the club at our September general meeting and were welcomed at our October general meeting with a social held in their honor!

We'd like to welcome the following ladies into our Junior Auxiliary family:
-Marcy Bolding
-Kimberly Chisam
-Nicole Chisam
-Tiffany Gannon
-Lacey Jones
-Tiffany Keeton
Ashley Moore
-Pamela Shelton
-Rosie Shirley
-Veronica Stepien
-Anne Vance
-Kelly Wood

From their applications we learned that they are a very hard-working, passionate and dedicated group of women and we're very excited to have them join our group!

We hope that in the next few months that they take opportunities to get to know the other members of the club and that they learn a great deal about J.A. and what this organization is all about. The work that we do is not always easy but it's always rewarding and we're happy to have these ladies to join our cause!

Print Cartridges for Boyd

Because we believe in helping the schools in our community to achieve their goals; we are currently collecting empty print cartridges for Boyd Christian School.

If you have access to any empty print cartridges please consider donating them to this project. You can get them to Susan any time or you can hang on to them until and bring them to one of the October meetings.

If you know of a school that is doing a similar collection, feel free to share it with the group...we might just be able to help out! We're always excited to help out the kids in our community in any way that we can.

The Children's Advocacy Center

We would like to thank Donnie Carter from our local Children's Advocacy Center for coming to our September general meeting and visiting with us a little.

She gave a very informative talk about what the C.A.C. does in our community and provided us with some useful and practical knowledge about what we can do as individuals to help prevent child abuse and neglect in our community.

We also discussed the Angels' Autumn Fest, a fundraising event that the C.A.C. is hosting in October. We have been asked to help with the serving duties at the event and we are very excited that we've been given the opportunity to help the C.A.C. in any way that we can. Tennessee's first lady, Andrea Conte (pictured above, during another children's advocacy event), is the speaker and with her at the helm, it looks to be a very prestigious event and a great opportunity for our community to come together to help a really worthy cause.

You can learn more about the event or reserve your tickets by contacting the Children's Advocacy Center at 507-2386.
