Hope Revisited center almost ready; open house is Saturday
BY SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com
C
oweta's first visitation center for foster children and their parents is almost ready, and an open house event will be held Saturday. Hope Revisited is a new organization working to help foster children and their biological parents, and the major way it is doing that is through opening the visitation center. The center has freshly painted, well-appointed rooms designed for babies, toddlers, tweens and teens to meet with their biological parents in a safe, stable and pleasant environment. Usually, for supervised visits, parents and children have to meet at a park or a crowded indoor restaurant playground, or drive to the northside of Atlanta for a visitation center. None of which are particularly conducive to meaningful visits and restoring bonds. Hope Revisited's new center is located at 125 Jefferson St., across from Pizza Hut. The open house will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Re-

he annual Sunrise on the Square Road Race returns Saturday Sept. 4 at 8 a.m. The Sunrise on the Square Labor Day Road Race is a local favorite, and has been held annually in Downtown Newnan on the Saturday before Labor Day for over 40 years. The race begins in Downtown Newnan and spans through “The City of Homes,” where runners will catch a glimpse of our beautiful, historic in-town neighborhoods and commercial district. The race features a 5K USATF certified course (chipped timing), where runners will enjoy the diversity of terrain, including: long flat stretches, downhill and uphill sections. The Sunrise on the Square Labor Day Road race welcomes both runners and walkers of all skill levels. You must start declaring God’s goodness in your life. That is how God says we’re going to be blessed – when we start declaring His goodness. Learn to speak blessings over your life, your friends, your future. Remember, a blessing is not a blessing until it is spoken. If you’ll do your part and start boldly speaking blessings over your life and the lives of those around you, God will provide everything you need to live the life of abundance He wants you to have. He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor...He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity. Proverbs 21:21, 23

This event is hosted by Main Street Newnan, in partnership to benefit Newnan-Coweta Boys & Girls Club. The Newnan-Coweta Boys & Girls Club works with hundreds of kids and teens to help them reach their full potential. The club provides an environment where all youth feel safe and secure to dream, discover and develop. Programs focus on helping succeed in school, live healthy and become leaders. The annual presenting sponsors of the Sunrise on the Square Road Race are Mike Fitzpatrick Ford and Josey, Young & Brady Realty. “The Board of Directors of the Newnan/ Coweta Board of Directors is excited to partner with Main Street Newnan in welcoming competitive and casual runners alike to downtown Newnan for this annual tradition,” said Hasco Craver, Boys & Girls Club board chairperson. “The City of Newnan has been a steady supporter of the 200+ youth served each day in our Clubs. We have enjoyed the community’s support for over 15 years, and we look forward to demonstrating our appreciation as we provide volunteer assistance to the race organizers.” Runners are encouraged to register prior to Aug. 13, which is the end date for early registration. Runners who register after this date are not guaranteed a race T-shirt. Runners may pick up their race day packets in advance on Thursday, Sept. 2 and Friday, Sept. 3 at Dragonfly Running Co. in Downtown Newnan from 2 to 6 p.m. Runners may also pick up their race day packets before the event begins on Saturday, Sept. 4.

HOPE REVISITED FROM PAGE • 1 There is also a classroom for future classes for families, and a "flex room" which can be used for many things, including a meeting room for family counseling. Currently, most family counseling providers are only offering services through Zoom or other virtual platforms, said Nolder. If a counselor is willing to meet in person, the room can be used. Eventually, hopes are to have a computer that parents can use to look for jobs, sign up for benefits and do other tasks they need a computer with Internet access to do. Classes will come later, and there are plans for financial classes for families, and classes on cooking on a budget and couponing. But the most important classes will be those on coping with stress and other coping skills. "One of the number one reasons that children come back into care (after going back to their families) is because parents
MarkeTplace revert to the reasons that their children went into foster care," Nolder said. "If we can teach them coping skills and the children are returned, they are in a much better position," she said. Hopes are to begin making appointments for visitations starting next week, Nolder said. Back on track With a home-like visitation center like Hope Revisited, families will be able to hopefully repair the bonds with their children and begin the healing process. Parents can also have more of an opportunity to function as parents by cooking a simple meal, reading to their kids and helping with homework. With additional support offered by the organization, the goal is that kids will be able to go home and stay home. Research has shown that children in foster care who are able to go back to their birth families end up leading much more successful lives into adulthood, than those who are in foster care until they become adults and are on their own, Nolder said. Local families are excited about the center opening. One family, whose chil-
dren used to be in foster care, recently toured the center. “The mother said having a place like Hope Revisited would have made the difference in getting her kids back a year sooner," Nolder said. Another local mother with an infant in foster care was driving to Marietta three times a week to visit with her child. They'll start visiting at Hope Revisited as soon as the facility opens, Nolder said. In addition to those actively involved with Hope Revisited, there has been an outpouring of community support from volunteers helping to get the facility ready for children. Some of those volunteers were either adopted or were once foster children. "They are excited when they see what we are doing," said Board member Mindy Smith. "It's just been phenomenal the amount of community support we have gotten – not just from other nonprofits, but from the churches, from individuals. It's such a diverse group that has really helped to open these doors," Smith said. Every time there has been a need, someone has stepped up to fill it, said Nolder. "Every step of the way, we have had com-
munity support," she said. While the organization has had to buy materials for the remodeling, all the labor has been donated. "We could not have done this without the support of the community," Nolder said. One man spent at least 150 hours working on the building, she said. "It's a labor of love," Smith added. The community has also stepped up with funds. Community financial support will be needed to keep the organization running, especially for the first two years. After that, hopes are to be able to obtain some grant funding. But most agencies that award grants want to see a year or two of operation first, she said. Even with grants, community support will always be important. The organization will have a motorcycle ride fundraiser Aug. 7 and is working on other fundraisers. "But we're still going to need that community support," Nolder said. The organization also has an Amazon wish list for items for the house.
