TPHCCA Conference

Texas Professional Home Child Care Association (TPHCCA) selected Newborns In Need as principle charity for their 26th Annual Educational Enrichment Conference which was held September 18-20 in Duncanville, TX.

The silent auction was a huge success raising $1,387!  The final check was presented at our 15th anniversary celebration on November 3.  They also held a clothing drive and collected 300 new items and 185 gently used items for Newborns In Need.

The success of the event was the direct result of the hard work of John and Pam Schindler who organized both the silent auction and the clothing drive, solicited donations for the silent auction and made sure that every auction item received a fair bid!  We thoroughly enjoyed working with the two of them!  Thanks John and Pam!

Our volunteers played an important role as well.  Our thanks go out to Susan McKinney, Anne Henderson, Ellie Wakeman, Dotty Darrin, Lassie Smith, Teresa Leszczynski and Kay Stephenson who donated items for the silent auction and Janice Bond, Marge Vissers, Sara Dreiman, Lassie Smith, Nancy Bloomfield, and Kay Stephenson who helped staff the silent auction room and Marge Bessire, who was kind enough to help pick up all the donations at the end of the conference.
