work hard for our money! We do all these things while remaining stylish and rocking 5' heels!
Q11: How do you feel about the movement of "The Everyday Girl Campaign" and What does it mean to you?
I feel great about it! As previous stated, I feel I am not represented well .When you say mother, usually in "mom
jeans" and driving a mini van or the 20 something year old, partying every weekend in the skin tight mini. The
everyday girl for me is the educated mother who is a professional that goes to the gym, cooks, dinner, cleans the
house, attends to her childrens' soccer, cheerleading, softball, basketball, and track events, looks great doing it, still
rocks 5' MC's with a fierce bag, handles her own personal time, and has everyone on time for Sunday morning
worship! That's my "everyday" girl...it's not a campaign, its life!
The Veterans Coalition of North Central Texas (VCNCT) was formed in August of 2011. The coalition was formed in
conjunction with several partnering agencies: Mental Health America of Greater Dallas, Dallas County Veterans
Service Office, Veterans for Christ, and the Child and Family Assessment Center. Together these organizations were
able to organize monthly meetings to assemble 70+ community partners to collaborate, strategize on best practices,
network, and provide services to Veterans and their family members. We are the largest and most comprehensive
Veterans Coalition in the state of Texas.
The Mission of the Coalition is: To build bridges between both public, private, and not for profit organizations at the
local, county, state, and federal levels; For all our Veterans, and their families by rebuilding, educating, and equipping
all veterans to reintegrate back into society and to bring awareness and a call to action to all communities of the
challenges of our veterans and their families. The Vision is to: Mobilize all sectors of society to give our service
members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned. We are the “Gap Filler” in services to our
Veterans, their families, and Veteran Service Organizations. The VCNCT has four central Initiatives:
