Family Solutions Graduation!

There are days when I just absolutely love my job. Yesterday was one of them. We celebrated the graduation of 4 wonderful families from our Family Solutions Program. What an awesome night!

These families have worked hard over the last 10 weeks. Getting to know one another, learning new ways to communicate, and realizing that… “Hey, we’re not the only family out there that needs to work through some things.” One mom commented that her family had tried several different programs and by far this was the most effective because they WORKED TOGETHER. So…hats off and congratulations to these parents and kiddos who invested a little time in each other so that they could be stronger, healthier and happier.

If you are interested in participating in our next session…..call Liv Hayes at 578-6013.

So Much EXCITEMENT!

One wonderful thing about working at a nonprofit, is that you never know what you will be doing on a day to day basis. One day you will be processing paperwork, the next you are trying to meet the needs of a struggling family, then you are organizing a fundrasing event.
That brings me to the Udderly AMAZING Hullabaloo. This promises to be a huge, fun-filled event for our community.

Boulevard Music is presenting the live local music all day, featuring Tobacco Road. So make sure you bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and your dancing shoes!
You don't want to miss seeing the Hullabaloo Car Show, either. If you have a vehicle you would like to enter, be sure to visit our website for the registration form. Kids, young and old alike will enjoy seeing these marvelous machines in person!


What I am most excited to see is, Cow Patty Bingo. If you are unsure what that is, let me explain:
A grid is placed on the 9th Grade Campus' football field, participants purchase tickets (3 for $20 or one for $10) which will correspond to a square on the field. Then we all stand around while "Bessie" is escorted onto the field. Bessie will mosey around the field until she is moved to leave her mark. If it happens to land in your square, you win!

Make sure you get your ticket(s) so you don't miss your chance to support the Center and winning the pot! Tickets are available at the Resource Center, Parr's Automotive and Car Wash, Parker's Carpet One and Home Furnishings on Asheville Hwy., and Bill Wilkin's State Farm Insurance (next to Game Stop). And don't worry, squares will be assigned in a random process so that the person who purchases the last ticket has just as much of a chance at winning as the person who bought the first ticket.
PLUS! There will be inflatables (even for us big kids!), a Cornhole and Tug-O-War Tournament, and kid's activities.
There is SO much involved in this Hullabaloo, you don't want to miss it! If you would like to be a part of it-please give us a call! We are still looking for sponsors, so click here to see our sponsorship levels.
