Could you do without that dinner out?



Non-profits need our support now more than ever.

Journey Girls is a wonderful organization I have had the pleasure of working with over the last year. Dr. Rachel Elahee, Psy. D. created the group years ago with the hopes of having a positive impact on the female youth of Metro Atlanta. She has managed to use her expertise to devise a program that has taught high school girls, everything from table manners, to hygiene, to how to have a safe dating relationship. All essentials for a teen in this day and age.

It is a rough market for such organizations. With the economy struggling as it is...fewer and fewer people are willing to part with even the small amounts of money required to fund an empowering program such as this.

Despite these odds, Dr. Elahee is committed to her girls and getting the program exposure she needs to continue helping the young ladies of Metro Atlanta.

Weekly Journey Girl meetings have now evolved to include a full one day conference.

SUPPORT WHAT MATTERS PEOPLE!

Organizations like this MATTER. Go visit www.journeygirls.org for more info on the conference.

One so-so dinner out would allow one high school girl to learn how to make better decisions now for a bright future later. Can you do without that dinner to help put a teen on the right path?

I'll be eating at home :)
