It was nice to be back in Sylvester recently for a Kiwanis Club Meeting. Our director, Nancy Bryan, was able to update the group on all the work done the RCPCH Team in 2022. There were 2185 children and adults served by RCPCH last year. Volunteers provided 1767 hours of service and RCPCH staff achieved 1440 hours of training. 424 children and parents were served by the Hope for Kids Holiday Project and 366 adults were trained in child sexual abuse prevention. April was full of activities and events for RCPCH, and it was also a month for two hire anniversaries! Brianna Mejia, Legal Advocacy Program Manager achieved her 6-year work anniversary on April 10. Charlene Carr achieved her year anniversary on April 12. Our 19th Annual Champions of Hope Sporting Clays Tournament set some records this year. The event filled in a record time of less than two weeks, and we had net proceeds of $81.000! There is a new support group in our state and, sadly, it is needed. If you or someone you know has suffered this type of loss of a loved one, please know that there is help. You are not alone. RCPCH is pleased to announce our newest Shelter Advocate PRN! Ms. Alex Griffin has been with us before as an intern and has returned as employee. She is a native of Moultrie and is a current ABAC student majoring in community development, history, and government. She enjoys reading, baking, playing video games, traveling, and playing her dog Atlas. Alex stated that she wanted to work at RCPCH because she really enjoyed her internship with us years ago. Alex has a desire to help people and she wants to gain experience working within the community. We are so grateful for a partnership with Tiftarea Academy that results in our shelter program and our Hope for Kid Program always getting support. Recently this trio of fine young students brought by boxes of products which we go through very quickly at our shelter, especially in times like these when we are full. Claire's Closet held a new and special event recently for Mothers and Sons to have fun together and to benefit RCPCH. It was well attended and very active....what you would expect with boys. There were more balloon play adventures, games, and food than actual dancing...also not a surprise with boys. We were so happy to be there and for the generosi of Claire's Closet. Presenting a check to Executive Director Nancy Bryan was Santana Walker and Amy Walker. Today was a special day for the Tifton Judicial Circuit as a large group of law enforcers, advocates, medical professionals, judges, attorneys, and advocates gathered to learn about the components of a successful Sexual Assault Response Team and how to begin the work needed to develop a Sexual Assault Protocol. The training was led by Liz Flowers, the Sexual Assault Unit Supervisor with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). We are back on track for Wishlist Wednesday!
