We started 2016 with the
announcement that Gloria Kennedy would take over from Kay Stephenson as Program
Manager for Love Thy Baby, representing us on the Love Thy Neighbor board. Kay
served us well as President for the last few years that we
were with Newborns in Need and orchestrated our transition to LTN, where
we have a broader base of financial supporters. We thank Kay for
everything she did to grow our group during her tenure.
Over the course of the
year, we grew our financial contributions through participation in the North
Texas Day of Giving, as well as continued support from the Parkland Auxiliary,
TPHCCA, Dell Services, Northaven UMC, TI and many wonderful individual
contributors.
Lakeview Josey Ranch
joined us as an additional satellite group and our existing groups continue to
make more and more, particularly the Coppell Senior Center Knit Wits
and Atria Canyon Creek. The CAP program has been passing large quantities
of used baby clothing and diapers on to the agencies we work with
as well. All of this contributed to significant growth in our 2016
deliveries.
Love Thy Baby is made up
of an absolutely wonderful group of volunteers and we could not provide
for so many babies without each and every one of you. Keep up the good work!
