November 2019 Presidents' Message

Happy November and Happy Thanksgiving!  October went by so fast.  

We had a successful  54th Used Book Sale.  There were a lot of wonderful volunteers who made it all possible.  Thank you again to everyone who sorted and priced the books, moved the books, set up the sale, worked the sale, and cleaned up afterwards.  

We will be having RIF coming up at Byron Elementary School and at both Cherished Children Daycare Centers this month.  There is nothing more rewarding than giving books to kids.  I encourage you to join us.  

Hope to see you at the next meeting.
Carrie Smith and Laurie Shaw
Co-Presidents

 Book Sale Report

Thanks to the donations from Laurie and Frank, our gross income from the Book Sale is now up to $3300.  We have a number of expenses to reach our net, so anyone else who would like to make a donation to the group would be greatly and gratefully appreciated. (Our RIF expenses are higher than usual because the population at Byron Elementary School is much higher than it was at Tucker!)

November Branch Meeting

Time: Socializing, 6:30; Program, 7:00
Room 101-102 Trinity United Methodist Church
129 South Houston Rd., Warner Robins

Our program for November will be Kathy O’Neal with the Georgia Family Connection Partnership. She is presenting an interesting program on a Civics program available to teachers, parents and anyone else interested in seeing our youth become more knowledgeable about government and the interaction between citizens and the government.  Come prepared to learn!  The GFCP is an organization which disentangles the mess of barriers, service gaps, and inefficiencies obscuring progress and positive outcomes for our state’s children, families and communities.

RIF NEWS

The first RIF distributions of the year was held on Wednesday, November 6 at Byron Elementary and on Tuesday, November 12 books will be distributed at Cherished  Children.

Carrie Smith, Margaret Mathews, Diane Lester, and Marlene Humphry were on hand for the Byron Elementary distribution, and it was great watching all the kids choose their books - this is our first year at Byron Elementary, so the students were especially excited. The Parent Coordinator gave up her room for the morning, and was very helpful in keeping the day organized. 

Call Carrie Smith if you'd like to help with the November 12 distribution at Cherished Children.
