Our speaker this week was Tamani Anderson Powell, director of Marketing and Communications for Wake County Public Schools! She spoke on WCPSS' magnet programs and kindergarten registration.
- Rising kindergarten parents need to go to your base school to register starting in January.

Those of us with children under 3 spent our time with mentor mom Karen Cole, who answered questions about early education and how to entertain our young children at home.
April helped us create these cute fall magnets to decorate our homes for the season!
Also, don't forget about our Yankee Candle Fundraiser! Prizes will be awarded to the top individual seller and top small group! You can get all needed information HERE
Our finance coordinator Jamie Branham shared with us how she has begun the journey of defeating breast cancer. You can follow her journey and know about how to pray for her specifically at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/branhamjamie
(Anyone can view but you do need to create an account.)
This morning she shared 2 things you can do for her:
- pray, pray, pray!
- Do your own breast self-checks every month.
Here are some other ways you can also help her family specifically:

Susan Ely will be speaking at our next meeting, and her topic is "HOLIDAZED! How To Slow Down, Spend Less, & Restore Sanity to the Holidays." It's an inspirational, humorous, time and money-saving talk about how to get back to the true reason for the season - perfect for young moms struggling with juggling it all. The material presented is based on a Kindle book she wrote by the same name that is $2.99 in the app store.
