FROM
THE EDITOR'S DESK
As my fingers hit the keys on this computer keyboard, I reflect back on the last two months. We filled out paperwork for POP Solutions and a month later, Your Own Uniqueness, Inc. was chosen as one of ten organizations chosen to be a part of the State funded OST (Out of School Time) After School program. Fifty organizations applied and only ten were selected and this is our first year working with POP Solutions which is the fiduciary over the program. We are honored to be a part of this program.
We started on January 3rd recruiting the kids for the program and met our quota of 15 to 25 kids and more. God is truly blessing us and we are very grateful to Him. We had our Orientation on February 5th with the parents of our kids and the After School program successfully started on February 10th with 15 kids in attendance and a few extra that hadn't registered at the time, but are registered presently. We are going into our third week and the program continues to grow and the kids are becoming more faithful in attending.
Now don’t worry, there will be our
usual great articles and information we bring to you every month. We will never slack in our efforts to bring you a great issue. Remember, this is the second issue for the year, and we are looking forward to coming into your home and giving you the best recipes, advice, encouragement, and inspiration in this new year. It’s a “One stop shop” as I always tell you, and I know many of you look forward to getting the free publication every month. Yes, we all had our challenges last year dealing with the economy, threats of war, and much, much more. But again, we made it through, and we discovered there is light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this publication helped you get through it too. You all know what I am going to say next, “Find your favorite sitting place and beverage and relax while you read this issue as you Discover... Your Own Uniqueness.
Sincerely,
