I don’t know about you but the Dog Days seem to be early this year. All the heat and humidity drain one’s energy and activity. This has not stopped our Chapter from putting together events and participating at FBI HQ with outreach activities.
Several Members shared their experiences ( see Teen Academy on other pages in this Newsletter) in working in the community and giving back the blessings we received over the years. We also have two Social events on the calendar. By the time you read this the events will have happened. Look for photos in these pages next month.
The First Annual All-Class Reunion was held at HQ on July 24th. Some 35 Academy graduates heard from FBI Leadership and staff, and caught up with other classmates during the afternoon. A great time was had by all and the consensus was “Let’s do it again.”
We discussed our plans to work with the National Child Advocacy Center in Huntsville and it’s affiliate organizations in Jefferson and Shelby counties. These efforts will be coordinated by our new Child Protect Team. Keep an eye out for more details in coming weeks.
We also talked about volunteers needed to work with our Elder Fraud Team to distribute brochures to all assisted living facilities in the counties where we live. More on this later.
Thank you for responding to our requests for Board Member suggestions and other volunteers for our Teams. You all will be contacted soon to discuss your interests and the Chapter’s needs.
Watch out for an announcement soon about our Chapter Tour of the FBI’s Redstone Campus.
That wraps up this month’s news. I trust you all will have a fruitful and safe August!
Best Blessings,
Rish
