Calling on all the quilters in the area to help make pillowcases and small
blankets. This last year we donated over 200 pillowcases and small
blankets to various charities. The demand is even higher with all of the
families that have lost their homes because of the fires in and around our
area. We need you and we have fabric that has been donated but we need
your hands and time to make someone smile. If you would like to help, call
the Katy Quilters, Shari Medford at 281-635-3000.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION
FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)
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 handson
community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.
