Brian Haines, YMCA Vice President of Operations. “One hundred percent of proceeds from our event go to help provide Y programs and services to Katy area families. This year, I am proud to announce that the Turkey Dash was able to net over $205,000. Every penny of that money will go back into the community in the form of program scholarships and community outreach subsidies.” The event was the brainchild of leaders from the Y and The Fellowship wishing to organize a large-scale holiday event to promote community bonding. The race has grown by leaps and bounds over the years to become the area’s premiere fun run. In addition to the running events, participants enjoyed a large post race area which included many local businesses who provided refreshments. There was also a Kids Zone complete with a rock wall, moonwalks, face painting and games. 10K winners were: Overall Male: Max Miller with a time of 34:18, Overall Female: Angela Vega with a time of 41:05, Overall Masters Male: A.J. Terrell with a time of 38:52 and Overall Masters Female: Suzy Seeley with a time of 45:59. 5K awards went to: Overall Male: Nathan Gift with a time of 16:07, Overall Female: Heidi Nielson with a time of 18:20, Overall Masters Male: Stephen Bernard with a time of 18:40 and Overall Masters Female: Anita Deuel with a time of 23:42.

If your meeting, gathering or any type “get together” would like a half hour of cheerful and melodic entertainment, call the Decibelles. We’ll be there in costume with a program of sheer delight.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)

February 2016

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s difﬁcult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to ﬁgure out how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.
