These are the shining stars who have stepped up to the challenge of ministering day by day to the clients who come to our office. These devoted people have donated time, finances, prayers, and items for our office and the Stork’s Basket. If you know any of these people or organizations, give them a pat-on-the-back for a job well done in 2008. In 2009, why not come join the ranks of our “Shining

Stars!”

PAGE 2 VOLUME 2, I SSUE 4

November 18, 2008 was

an exciting day for us.

Not only did we get to

share with clients during

business hours, but from

5 PM to 8 PM we opened

our doors for old and new friends to come to an Open

House.

The rooms and hall were filled

with individuals representing

families, churches, and

corporations who wanted to

see first hand where

volunteers and staff share the

Good News of our Savior and

in so doing save lives one person at a time.

Refreshments were provided for

the evening by: Robert & Marie

Knight, Ada Lopez, Jean

Murphy, Ruth Roth, Marykay

McCracken, Kemper and

Melissa Smalley, Leslie

Smalley, Robin Whitesides &

the ladies of Dunwoody Baptist Church.

Jean Murphy

provided wreaths for each office door illustrating the activity

which takes place within that office space:

Options Discussions; Prayer and the Gospel; Education; and

Social Service referrals.

Volunteers Ada Lopez, Robin Whitesides,

Candis Hines, and Melissa Smalley

prepared displays for each room to illustrate

some of the work done under each category.

Board Treasurer, Ron Hayes, prepared a

slide presentation showing where donated

dollars are carefully spent. Everyone was

amazed to learn that 80% of all monies donated go directly

to meet client needs!

The Executive Director also had a slide show running on a

desk computer describing the future areas of growth within

the ministry: 1) Make PROD the first choice of women

needing information related to an unplanned pregnancy;

2) Make our services mobile; 3) Acquire ultrasound

capabilities so women can see the child they carry.

If you were among the attendees, THANKS for coming. It

was a joy to meet you an thank you personally for partnering

with us in this ministry. If you were not able to attend,

know that we missed you!
