Supply drive update!

Thank you to the New Albany Walmart Super Center and all the community members, Teens for Life members, and Teens for Life parent volunteers who made the supply drive a success!

Together, we were able to donate an incredible amount of supplies to Choices for Women Resource Center and St. Elizabeth -- Catholic Charities, two local (New Albany) organizations which support women and families.

Because of your support, we were able to give 598 diapers and 56 packs of baby wipes to Choices for Women; a vacuum, baby strollers, and hair dryers and straighteners to St. Elizabeth's; and much, much more to both organizations.

We're famous!

Southern Indiana Teens for Life had a blast participating in National Pro-Life T-shirt Week (NPLTW), an annual event sponsored by the American Life League. It was a fun time for our members to get to know each other better, plus it gave us a cool chance to take the pro-life message to the streets. We were walking billboards for life, after all! Thanks to all of our members and families who participated.

Some cool stuff from NPLTW...

One of our TFL group's photos was voted as a "favorite" in the 2011 contest, and is currently displayed in the "Viewer's Choice" gallery.

Another one of our TFL group's photos shows up at the end of this fun video from when the grand prize NPLTW winner receives her prize!

To see more of our photos, check out this album of our favorites.
