Update: November 9-18, 2009 Activity

by Darren Washausen, Executive Director
 

Can you say furniture? I think I am in the full time moving business. We have several couches, chairs, kitchen tables, and many other items for our aging out teens. Fortunately Lori Hillegas has a storage place for us, but we are looking for more storage in Kentucky; 1500 square feet would be great!

Last Friday, I had a meeting with Eastside Christian Church in Indiana. They would like an Adoption Seminar in Fall, 2010. They will do a dignity bag and bin drive in the Spring and are anxious to help around Christmas.

Well, we may have the opportunity. On December 14th we are planning to have a Christimas party for teenage girls in Foster Care that have babies or are pregnant. The plan is to mentor these girls in 2010, but for now we need a party with food, child care, gifts, and VOLUNTEERS! More details will be available after December 2nd.

Some of us are meeting with the TONIC group in the next week. This group requested the gathering with LOCI.

On November 15th, I learned that we may get an opportunity to meet with Boys Haven soon. Some of the projects here could be exciting and allow further engagement with the children in the state. Stay tuned on this one!

On November 16th, three volunteers were raised up to learn how they may play a larger role in LOCI activity. One of them may be available to us full time!!

Today, I just spoke to Lisa Owen and there is a seminar day being held for the judges of Kentucky on December 4th. LOCI has been asked to be an exhibitor at this event.  We are going to quickly work to be present and be heard!

Finally, Britt is supplying diapers to all the neighborhood places on a monthly schedule, BUT WE NEED MORE DIAPERS RIGHT AWAY!

We also have a meeting with Patrick Yewell who is the General Manager of the Administrative Office of the Department of Juvenile Services Courts in Frankfurt on November 23rd.

Hopefully you can see that we are growing in activity and pray that God will bless us with all the people and resources to serve in his name!
