10 Year Anniversary Event
10 Year
Anniversary Event
A Celebration of Life
This year marks the 10th year that Abortion Alternatives & Women’s Center has been serving Carter County. This is quite a milestone for us and we hope that you will help us celebrate this big event. During the month of August we have a couple of big events planned to help celebrate our anniversary of service. First, on Friday, August 27, we will be holding a special blood drive for the American Red Cross in honor of Carolina Skye Odom. Many times when people think of donating blood they think of accident victims or people undergoing srgery. However, infants who are born premature often have health problems and they often require one or multiple blood transfusions to help them fully develop. This is especially true for infants who are so ill they just stay in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at a hospital. These precious young lives are born having to fight. The blood you donate at this drive will go to help these young lives as well as others who need blood for whatever reason. The blood drive will be held from 1:30-6 p.m. here at our Center. Donors are asked to eat a good meal approximately 1-2 hours prior to donating. Appointments are recommended but walk-ins arewelcome. Call our center at 543-4673 to make an appointment to donate. The second event of our celebration will be a special singing event which will be held on Saturday, August 28
from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Valley Fore Free Will Baptist Church. The Valley Forge Praise & Worship Choir will begin music at 5:15 p.m. and continue as people enter the event. Featured performances during the evening will be by Greater Glory and The Fortune Family from Georgia. The Fortune Family has a very special testimony which they share when they perform. Prior to being saved, Terry and Lynn Fortune were faced with an unwanted
pregnancy, which they chose to end through abortion. Years later after becoming saved, Terry and Lynn were devastated by the choice that they had made and prayed and asked God to bless them with a family. Terry and Lynn are now the parents of eight children. Together, all 10 members of the family travel around the country to sing, praise God and share their testimony.
Our goal for the special singing event is to raise $10,000 for 10 years of service. We are accepting donations at the door of the event and advance tickets are also available for a donation. We are also asking that our area churches help us out by taking up a love offering for the center which can be presented to us at the center before hand or at the event that night, where we will be updating our donations received throughout the course of the evening. Refreshments will also be available at the event and will be provided by area restaurants.
Come and help us celebrate 10 years of helping people Choose Life.
