Dear book lover:
Thank you for your interest in knowing more about That Women’s Inc. Book Circle sponsored by Women’s Inc. and That Bookstore at Mountebanq Place.
Book circles offer people a unique opportunity to meet new people with whom they can share thoughts, engage in stimulating discussion and reach a more enriched understanding of their world through books.
The rewards that are derived from a “good” book circle are incalculable. We hope to help each circle reach its full potential by following this procedure. We ask that you:
To make Thanksgiving more memorable this year, consider starting a new tradition or two with the family. Because as you know…..traditions help create lifelong memories.
Make this the year you go the extra mile, by extending your generosity and blessings beyond your own family.
During Thanksgiving time, plan an annual “Giving Day” that involves every member of your family. Collect cloths, toys, and food and donate them to local shelters (such as battered women shelters or homeless shelters). You could also collect pet toys and pet food and take them to the local animal shelter.
Andrew Watson’s favorite time of day is when the children come home from school.
“One of my favorite sounds is to hear laughter,” he wrote in a message to supporters of Soaring Wings Christian Home and Ranch. “And there has been a lot of laughter.”
The privately-funded ranch on almost 200 acres of rolling pasture near Holland, is now home to 14 children in two group homes. Boys and girls, ages 6-17, are sheltered, nourished and “allowed to be kids,” Watson said.
When you’re 5 years old, going to check the mailbox can be a really big deal. We have found this to be a fact in our household and you better believe we work it to fullest advantage. Anticipating that 30 yard journey to deposit or gather letters has been a catalyst more than once in our home for finishing green beans, picking up toys, and staying in the bed during naptime.
When our family moved to Conway eight years ago, I wrestled with an imbalanced life for several months. With three children in tow, and pregnant with another, I felt emotionally and physically spent. Our children struggled to adjust to elementary school after leaving family and friends behind in another state. I was finishing a Master’s degree that required completing two classes at the University of Central Arkansas, while studying for comprehensive exams covering two years of course work.
In these tough economic times wouldn’t you love to take one dollar and make it ten dollars? I have found exactly the ladies that are experts at doing that. They are women who work for the United Way of Central Arkansas. I had the privilege to sit down with both staff members and several board members to talk about what the non-profit, established in 1957, does.
