Volunteers Needed
There is a continuing need for volunteers to take part in the
peaceful, silent prayer outside the abortion facility in south
Nashville. Every day there are people doing this but more are needed and
encouraged to take part. There have been many, many minds changed and babies
saved from abortion by this simple means. We are only asked to stand and
pray, they have others who can counsel those who seek it. It would be good
if our chapter could take a certain time each month to be present there or
if that is not workable, then go whenever you can. If interested, discuss
with me at our meetings or contact Iva McGavock at Tennessee Right to Life,
615-298-5433.
Tenn. Right to Life PAC
The legislative session is nearly completed for this year and
surveys have been sent out to all the candidates running for state offices
throughout the state. The PAC is in the process of reviewing the candidate's
answers and prolife records. While the PAC will not make endorsements in
every race, they will endorse in most of the races for state representative,
state senator and of course the governor's race. The list of endorsements
are expected to come out well before the early voting period for the primary
elections. Early voting for the August primary begins July 17th. I would
encourage you to take a good look at those endorsed by the Tenn. Right to
Life PAC and consider supporting them in the upcoming elections. Donations
should be made payable to Tenn. Right to Life PAC in order to be directed to
support prolife candidates. Also remember to support and work for the local
prolife candidates in our districts. Smith County is in the Legislative District 40
which also includes Macon and DeKalb Counties. Also we are in the Senate
District 17 which includes these counties; Cannon, Clay, DeKalb, Macon,
Smith Trousdale, Wilson and a small portion of Sumner; If you have family or friends living in other
parts of the state, let them know who the prolife candidates are in their
areas and encourage them to vote prolife. It is crucial that we increase the
number of prolife representative and senators, and most importantly that we
elect a prolife governor this time.
Smith County Fair
The fair dates will be here soon (July 26-31). I hope you will
make plans to help with our booth this year. We need at least 2 people each
night to talk to people, answer questions, make available prolife materials
and this year we need to especially remind people to vote prolife. We need
people for the hours of about 4:30 to 9:00 on Monday - Friday and on
Saturday from about 2:00 to 9:00. If you have never done this before,
consider helping this year, we will put you with someone who has done it
before and show you the ropes so to speak. Try to schedule a time when you
do not have other fair activities to participate in. If you have ideas how
to make our booth more useful, send those to me now.
Donations Needed
Please renew your membership if it is time or consider donating
to replenish our funds from the recent oratory contest and to pay for the
booth space at the fair.
Choose Life License Plate
I would like to remind you about the need to purchase these
registration plated for your vehicles. Proceeds received from the sale of
these plates directly helps many pregnancy help centers all across the
state. The last report I heard, sales were still good, but have declined in
recent months. If you have the Choose Life license plate, renew it when it
is time, if you don't have at least one, then either now or when your
vehicle registration comes due, get one at the county clerks office.
Next Meeting
Don't forget the next regular chapter meeting which will be June 8th. We meet at the
Christ Church Fellowship, 209 3rd. Ave. West in Carthage The time for our meetings is 6:30 p.m. Try to attend our
meetings and help us plan our projects. Your support
is needed at our meetings and on our projects.
