Chapter Reminders

- JA Members!!!! Reminder that Christmas in the Park is a MANDATORY Service Project for ALL!

- JA members should each bring 2 dozen cookies the night of Christmas in the Park and take them to the Cider House. It is recommended to put cookies in a disposable container and the cookies should not contain any nuts or peanut butter. 2 dozen cookies is equivalent to 1 Service hour.

- JA members are currently collecting items for three of their service projects: Coats for the Community, Pencil Pals and the JA Book Drive. This is a year round collection and any of these items can be dropped off at the main branch of Homeland Community Bank, main branch of Security Federal Savings Bank, Ashley's Attic or Dr. Timothy Fisher's office or you can contact Marcy Bolding, President, 931-273-5294 for more information.

Text Message Reminders and Updates for Members

In addition to emails and this blog, reminder texts have become yet another way for members to stay connected between meetings and stay informed about club & community events.

Pencil Pals

Local schools are always in need of new or (gently) used backpacks, calculators, 1 subject folders, black ink pens, pencils and graph paper to donate to local schools. If you can donate any of these items, bring them to the next general meeting. For making a donation to this project, members may earn service hours & for the public,it is a tax-deductable donation.

Junior Auxiliary Prayer

Send us, O God, as Thy messengers to the hearts without a home, to lives without love, to the crowds without a guide. Send us to the children whom none have blessed, to the famished whom none have visited, to the fallen whom none have lifted, to the bereaved whom none have comforted.Kindle Thy flame on the altars of our hearts, that others may be warmed thereby; cause Thy light to shine in our souls, that others may see the way; keep our sympathies and insight ready, our wills keen, our hands quick to help others in their need.Grant us clear vision, true judgement, with great daring as we seek to right the wrong; and so endow us with cheerful love that we may minister to the suffering and forlorn even as Thou wouldst. May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, rest upon us and upon all our work. May He give us light to guide us, courage to support us, and love to unite us now and forever more. Amen
