And So On...

Let's see...what's new. How's everyone's summer going? School starts soon for the kids and this should be the first year for the new Middle School. Very exciting. Their fancy little sign seems to post lots of events for a 'welcome' sort of thing, so I hope some of you have had a chance to check it out.

AHNA is proud to begin a new relationship with St. Johns Home, a residential facility for abused and neglected kids. The board has invited a small group of young ladies to help out around the place. You will probably begin to see a group of them helping out with the distribution of the summer newsletter. It will be a small group of about 8-10 girls (with staff and AHNA supervision) aged 12-16 years old. The girls will be supervised. They do not, I repeat do NOT, have criminal records and are considered 'non-delinquents'. The girls in this program are encouraged to give back to their community and this is a volunteer thing. This is not court mandated. The board is trying this out on the newsletters. Any questions or concerns, you know how to reach me. The board is pretty excited about it and hope it works well. This is a good thing.

Block Captains: Pay attention as there will be a new manual coming out soon. The board is also encouraging ya'all to get little business cards. They're free from a place called Vista Print. Contact me for more information. All you have to do is pay shipping of like 5 bucks and you get something like 250 of them. Thanks to "Joe Rod" for the tip on that one (Hey...my first shout out!).

Oh..yeah...Block Captains. You should be contacted soon by someone from the board to help hand out the newsletter. The board is trying to cut some corners, so they are going to hand out newsletters this time as long as it's nice out.

That's really about it. The usual things..keep your doors locked..keep an eye out. Trash Day is around the corner, don't forget. There will be a thing in the newsletter on that one.

There's still a general need for more block captains and there are a few seats open yet on the board.

Nothing exciting, I know. Hope all is well.

Ciao!
