PRC to celebrate PUBLIC NOTICES 25 years Nov. 27 LOCAL
News Democrat
BY Tamma Plymesser PRC
Please join us on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (November 27) from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. as the Pregnancy Resource Center celebrates 25 years of partnership with the community in providing for the needs of women in the midst of an unexpected pregnancy, the men who fathered those children and families struggling to provide for their infants and toddlers. God Bless! This past Sunday at church one of the men said a prayer and one line he said was, “Thou has blessed us real good.” That phrase kept running through my head as the offering was received from the congregation. I have to say, not only am I blessed in my personal life—the PRC is blessed by many generous, kind and compassionate supporters. I have said it before, and I will say it again—and keep saying it as long as I am the executive director of the Pregnancy Resource Center, “It is only because of YOU, our donors. that we can be “A Place of Hope” for pregnant women and families with infants and toddlers here in Brown County. I would like to take this opportunity to tell how you bless our clients by sharing a day in the life of the PRC. This was an especially busy day from last week. It began before we even unlocked the door. Actually, before we even got out of our vehicles. When Lainey pulled in just a few minutes before me, someone pulled in looked at the closed sign and pulled out and another client pulled in seconds after me. As we were unlocking the door, here came another client! Before we even sat down, the phone rang with a cancellation of an 11 o’clock appointment. It immediately rang again with a request for an
appointment (there went our open time slot!). Then Lainey took care of the two clients who walked in the door with us while I pulled files for my 10:30 class. Just as it began, someone came to pick up baby bottles for a meeting. I took care of getting bottles for her and then led the class of four expectant moms, two of which were accompanied by the baby’s daddy. We are about halfway through the class of the Five Love Languages of Children and as always it is exciting to see how much our clients grow as they study the material, do the assignments and share with each other. It is especially heart-warming to see the fathers involved. Immediately after class, I helped a mom get clothes and diapers for her baby. All the while, Lainey had finished with the first clients and then took care of a client who came in for a Baby Box and also received a new-born layette, as well as answering the phone which was ringing off the hook. I also accepted a delivery from FedEx for the Sweet Dreams program (another way you have helped, by coming through with funds for Pack and Plays with bassinet attachment). Oh, and the Duke Energy guy came to turn our gas on (we are good stewards of the funds received and turn the gas off during the summer to save money). As he left he turned around and said, “Thank you for what you do here.” I pass this on to you, because without you we could not do what we do here. We then had a client who arrived for her B.A.B.Y. (Babies Always Bless You) class so she could get maternity clothes and some much-needed encouragement. While Lainey helped her get maternity clothes and got her set up for class, I finally got to write notes in the client files from earlier in the day.
It was almost time to close when another client walked in needing formula and diapers for her baby. Finally, a half-hour after closing, we said good-bye to the last client and LOCKED the door. The day does not end when the clients walk out the door—we have to write files, return calls and wrap up tasks we worked on throughout the day. Although on this day, I had only got as far as turning on my computer and setting my coffee on my desk before becoming involved with clients—but I did take a moment to check e-mails. We walked out the door an hour after closing—but wait, the day was not over yet. Before I could pull out of the parking lot, in pulled a vehicle with the driver waving at me—she was bringing in a donation of baby bottles full of change. I quickly ran them into the office for our treasurer to pick up later. You may wonder why I am telling you about our day at the PRC. It is because I want you to know that because of you, we were able to impact the lives of 12 people today. And it is not just their lives you helped us touch—but also the lives of their other children, their spouses and their extended families. Because of YOU their lives have been changed for the better. And it is not just those 12 people that were helped—so far this month we have had over 60 client appointments. And that is just one month out of a year—and this is just one year twenty-five. I cannot begin to imagine how many clients and their children, friends and families have been touched by your generosity throughout the years. Because of YOU not only are their lives improved, but I honestly believe, the community benefits because of the services provided to families here in Brown County.

The USDA FSA has launched a tool to provide farmers with remote access to their personal farm information using their home computers. Farmers and producers can now view, print or export their personal farm data all without visiting an FSA county office. The program, known as FSAfarm+, provides you with secure access to view your personal FSA data, such as base and yields, Conservation Reserve Program data, other conservation program acreage, Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation status information, field boundaries, farm imagery, name and address details, contact information and membership interest and shares in
the operation. This data will be available in real time, at no cost to the producer and allow operators and owners to export and print farm records, including maps. Producers also can electronically share their data with a crop insurance agent from their own personal computer. Farm operators and owners first will need “Level 2 eAuthentication” to access the webportal. This level of security ensures that personal information is protected for each user. Level 2 access can be obtained by going to www.eauth.usda.gov, completing the required information and then visiting your local FSA office to finalize access. For more information on FSAfarm+, the customer
self-service portal, contact your Farm Service Agency county office.
