October meeting

Thanks to everyone who attended the September meeting! It was a good time of sharing information and getting an idea of what our group may be able to do this year. Some possibilities include hearing from guest speakers, sharing current "life" events and news, doing volunteer projects for pro-life organizations, and holding a pro-life movie night. 

Now, mark your calendars for the October meeting of the Southern Indiana Teens for Life group! This is an open meeting for all pro-life teens, whether you were able to attend September's meeting or not. We hope you'll come and be a part!

When?
Friday, October 22
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Where?
The auditorium of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library*
180 W. Spring Street
New Albany, IN

Why?

This will be somewhat of an "organizational" meeting -- figuring out more of the details of what we'll be doing and so on.

Who?
You! Southern Indiana Teens for Life is open to ALL pro-life teenagers.


*We are very grateful to the library for allowing us the use of their space! (Please realize, however, that this is not a library-sanctioned event.)

Welcome!

The Southern Indiana Teens for Life is a new, local branch of the National Teens for Life organization. All pro-life teens are welcome to be a part as we work to establish a culture of life in our communities. Again, ALL pro-life teens are welcome! You do not need to be a member of any certain church, school, or religious or political group to be in Teens for Life. Our group is open to all pro-life young people approximately ages 13 - 19.

We know you're busy, so we will have meetings just once a month, each lasting no longer than one hour. In general, meetings will consist of listening to guest speakers, watching video clips, doing volunteer projects to help out pro-life organizations, and anything else our group can come up with. You can even count the meetings as volunteer hours! It's a fun and meaningful way to gain community service experience and leadership skills.

Join us as we discover how to defend life by learning more about the problems our country faces (abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, etc.). Join us as we take action by doing in-meeting volunteer projects for local pro-life organizations. Join us as, together, we stay encouraged in our fight for life and make a difference in our communities.
