Wow! We have so much to share with you! October was packed full of events, and we are excited to be enjoying some of the fruit of those labors during November! Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, sponsored, prayed, and supported our ministry in so many unique ways during this busy time. You have brought so many smiles to our faces this month, let alone to the faces of the families directly impacted by your giving and encouragement! 

Highlights from the Past Month...
WE AWARDED 9 SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THE WAITING LIST!!
Thanks to the golf tournament, funding from two grants, and our amazing donors, we are excited to announce that we have not only reached the milestone of awarding the 
200th scholarship, but we have been able to award almost every single scholarship on 
the waiting list! We can't say thank you enough for what that small "yes" means to each of these families!  Not only are they able to provide their child with a therapy or equipment otherwise unavailable, but they know that there is a community around them that cares for them deeply and is ready to meet their needs!



Thank You, Sponsors & Golfers! 
Our 4th Annual Anchor of Hope Golf Tournament was a beautiful day filled with sunshine, laughter, great fellowship, and overall a successful tournament. Thank you so much to every single golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who made this tournament not only possible, but a success! See the tournament photo gallery here.



Public Safety Day
We participated as a food vendor in the 3rd Annual Public Safety Day put on by Leadership Monroe. It was a beautiful day, filled with some great demonstrations by public safety officials (I could feel the heat from the controlled burn from all the way across the block!), delicious fried pickles, a game of "knitted frisbee" to showcase the handmade crafts sold by Anchor of Hope, and the opportunity to share information with community members.
Parents' Night Out - November 6
November Parents' Night Out is just a few days away! We are so excited to announce that we have received the adapted music kit covered by the grant funding we received! We pulled it out last month, and it was a hit! The kids loved the opportunity to make music! 

W e are so grateful to Gresco Utility Supply for sponsoring October Parents' Night Out, covering the volunteer dinner, snacks for the kids, and October's rent of the facility where we hold Parent's Night Out. Also, thank you to the Dayspring Presbyterian Church ladies, who prepared a delicious dinner for the volunteers!

UGA vs. GT Raffle Drawing Nov. 20

Enter for Your Chance to Win Tickets to the 11/28 Game

 

Many Georgians know there is nothing like college football season and nothing like a good rivalry.  Few rivalries top that of the Georgia Bulldogs and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. We are giving away two tickets to fans of each team!   But there's a catch! The team with the  highest number of supporters wins the GRAND PRIZE: two tickets, a two night stay in Atlanta, and dinner the night of the game!  Granted, if your team has the fewest number of  entries, you still win two tickets and lunch at the Varsity!  Truly a win-win to serve the 1 in 6 children facing developmental disability. Click here to purchase your tickets before the November 20th drawing!
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday

We have one day for giving thanks. 
We have two for getting deals. 
Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global 
day dedicated to giving back. It's a simple idea. 
Your family, your community, your company or 
your organization can come together to give something more. 

1 in 6 kids has a developmental disability. 
These children are our heart.  Give the Gift of Hope by giving to Anchor of Hope.

Use Your Talents & Skills for the 1 in 6!
We are so thankful to see God's hand in the generous gifts and words of the people we are so blessed to reach every day.  Through the next couple of months, as we implement programs and search for new opportunities in the community, WE NEED YOUR HELP to make it happen. 
You are the hands and feet of Anchor of Hope! 

Besides the volunteer job positions listed on our website, here are a few of the top priority tasks this month:

  Become a Sales Representative: Sell UGA vs. GT Raffle Tickets

Thank you for partnering with us in so many ways, whether through volunteering time, donating money, offering prayer and encouragement, or assisting in planning. You are such a blessing to us, and to the families we are privileged to serve.  Blessings to you and your loved ones now and always.
