Fall wrap-up!

What a great Fall to be a Junior.  Fall conference  was where we were visited by a mother of a 5 year old boy with cnacer who is striving thanks to our State Project The Valerie Fund.  A successful Halloween Costume Drive at Back To School Night at a local school brought in many wonderful costumes for children in Foster Care.  We created 3  monthly, delicious and healthy meals at Ronald McDonald House.  November brought our Thanksgiving donations for families and Operation Christmas Child.  Another big hit within the community.
  Finally our biggest and most satisfying project our Collection of New Toys for Women Aware's Mom Shop, Foster And Adoptive Family Holiday Party, local families in our area, and 20 children at a Kids Cafe in New Brunswick.
  The Juniors are off again with new ideas for the Winter.  Please come and visit at our next meeting on Jan. 10th at 7:30 at United Methodist Church in Milltown.

Take a Fall Break with the Juniors!  Come make First Night Kits for Women in Emergency Shelters.  Load up a backpack with healthy food for a school-age child for a weekend meal.  Create memories with your family by sending shoe boxes overseas for Operation Christmas Child.  Don't forget helping needy families, charities, and organizations in Middlesex County.
