Hello and welcome to a new year of celebrating retirement! Our first meeting will be held next Thursday, September 11th at 10:30 am at the Dallas First Baptist Church in downtown Dallas.

We are excited to be supporting Dallas Elementary School this year! They have asked for small items for their "Bulldog Cart" so students can "purchase" rewards as part of the school's PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) program.

Please feel free to use the Amazon link to purchase items. If you have a Costco or Sam's Club membership, they would also love snacks to add to their cart.

Items on Amazon will be sent to Patti Swift's address and she will deliver them to the school. If you prefer to buy items locally, please bring them to any PREA meeting. We will also accept cash donations at our meetings. The Bulldog Cart will be our focus of support for the year.

We hope to see you next Thursday!

For our last service project for HHS, will be collecting backpacks for new students. Although the counselors are able to provide school supplies, they do not have enough backpacks for students transferring into the school.

I would love to be able to bring 15 backpacks to HHS after our February meeting. Here is the Amazon link. Thank you so much for your generosity!

At our November meeting, we collected gift cards for students at Hiram High School here in Paulding County. We had such an amazing variety and because of your generosity, I delivered $630 worth of gift cards to the counselors' office. The counselors were so very appreciative to receive them and thank you all so very much.
