PLEASE ATTEND.  IMPORTANT DISCUSSION AND VOTING ON REVISED BYLAWS, concerning a revamped leadership selection process.  Our goals are to encourage more members to get involved in leadership positions and to ensure the process is understood and utilized by all members that are so inclined, while also taking a more common sense approach to filling positions with people who are best suited and more dedicated to their position.

Club News
Last Meeting, December 6, 2019
Our presenters were from Cameron County Children's Advocacy Centers, known as Monica's and Maggie's House.
 
This organization serves children in Cameron and Willacy counties.  They provide much needed outreach, advocacy, and therapy for children affected by abuse in their home environments.  These advocates act as a non-biased voice in court, but as a voice of care, love, and compassion to the children they help.   This is tough work, often meeting multiple children each day with new stories of abuse and neglect.  Our presenters shared with us, though, that the labor pays off with the result of seeing children navigate these dark and painful events to eventually find light and healing.  The organization is growing with the need for more staff and space to accommodate rising numbers of reported abuse.   More than 1300 children have already been served this year.  The organization is gearing up to be able to help at least 2,000 annually.  We are very proud to have these people in our community that are willing and able to tackle this problem, and do so with the love and care that the job requires.
 
Thank you, Debbie Rodriguez, Gabriel Garcia, Sandy Perez Andaverde for sharing information and insight about the work you do for our community.

Shopping with Kids at TARGET.  We had a blast again this year, shopping with 25 kids.  Each one got $100.00 to spend on whatever they wanted...or if mom followed and sneaked a package of TP into the cart, we got that too!  Thank you to each of the volunteers that helped!
