From the President's Desk �

Note from the presidentWe would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all of you who support us with your time, energy, and gifts. I can't mention everyone by name but you know who you are, and you are greatly appreciated.

I would like to send a special THANK YOU to Phyllis Oullette, who works tirelessly year round on the rummage sale. Without Phyllis and Ben we would not have funds to operate on. A special thank you also to Repeat Performance for their donations to our rummage sale, to the Yarn Basket for donations of yarn to make baby things, to the Flea Market for their donations, and to Corky Pigman for allowing us to use her lot for the Life Chain this year.

Thank you also to each of you who attend the monthly meetings and make my job so much easier with all of your ideas and hard work. One more thank you to Ginny Hoffman and Windy Greenfield for their work on the newsletter and labels. You are all a real blessing from God.
             Patsy Wiediger




Update On
Past Events

SPRING RUMMAGE SALE
A SUCCESS!

Again God blessed us through the generosity of you beautiful people, and we broke all previous sales. Our total was $6,207.10 and we give thanks! This could not have been possible without your support and prayers. Thank you one and all.

We feel our work has a dual purpose. It not only provides us with the funds we need but also helps people who are unable to shop in retail stores -- kind of a recycling center!

We have purchased several cribs, new mattresses, crib pads and sheets, and car seats to be given to moms who need a helping hand. And of course, always a hug given in love!

Joni and Ken Tada Joni Eareckson Tada and her husband, Ken, attended the evening banquet, where Joni was the keynote speaker. Cheri was able to meet with Joni after the banquet.

SEXUAL ABSTINENCE AND
FAMILY EDUCATION

Gary and Laura Lee Swant of SAFE Inc. (Sexual Abstinence & Family Education) are scheduled to speak to parents, teachers, and students at Darby and Corvallis schools in September. The Swants spoke at Darby during the 1999-2000 school year and the administration was eager to have them return to speak again this year. They have also spoken in Florence and over 80 other schools in Montana and across the nation.

SAFE Inc. is a nonprofit educational organization. Its goal is to assist young people to remain virgin, or embrace the concept of "secondary virginity" until marriage.

The philosophy of SAFE includes such principles as:

  1. Young people are best served by educational programs which emphasize self-discipline, the value of the individual and respect for self and others.

  2. Young people need to be aware of the consequences of unhealthy choices.

  3. Young people need help understanding the emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical bonding mechanisms of marriage, the importance of purity until marriage, refusal skills, the fallacies of "Safer Sex" and associated health issues.
