Successful summer - July project updates!

It's been a great July for Southern Indiana Teens for Life!

For this month's service project, we had a "pro-life packaging party" for Right to Life of Southern Indiana, during which we packaged 1,000 fetal models for Right to Life's fair booths. Snacks and music rounded out the evening, and it was just a great time making difference for LIFE! Click here for photos from the event.

Plus, July 15 & 16 was Friends for Life Camp in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is a pro-life apologetics and leadership conference put on by Indiana Right to Life and Allen County Right to Life, and it was an incredible experience for our members! The students heard from Lila Rose and Scott Klusendorf, as well as from other pro-life leaders from across the state and nation. Click here to see our camp photos.

Our July meeting also went well -- we took orders for our new group T-shirts, and they should be ready for pick-up at our August 29 meeting. Thanks to everyone who submitted T-shirt designs and who ordered a group shirt! If you haven't ordered your shirt yet, send us an E-mail. They are $7.50 each.

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.
