Our guest speaker, Pastor Mike Matheny of Church of the Lakes has been rescheduled for our September 26th meeting. He deeply regrets for having to miss the last meeting. He is the chaplain for the Leesburg Police Department and had an emegency call that day.
Pastor Mike coordinates several programs for children. The E3 program equips students with the skills and motivation to make healthy choices and avoid high risk activities. Student surveys show that this program, changes lives and sometimes even saves lives. As one student stated recently on a post survey, "I think you may have saved my life." Join us on September 26th to hear more.

Paul From Channel 6 Filmed Our May Meeting and Found Out All About LCWA.
The taping was broadcast at 5:20pm.
At the May Meeting, Paul Giorgio of Channel 6 filmed and interviewed members of LCWA along with Brenda Crellen for a special report on what the Children's Advocacy Center does to provide comprehensive trauma informed
services at no cost to child victims of crime in Lake and Sumter Counties highlighting how the LCWA supports this work. Know that the funds raised by our organization helped provide 2,043 mental health services, 3,851 victim advocacy services and 1,583 child protection services during the center's 2022/2023 fiscal year. A tremendous thank you to our members for your generosity and kindness.
As a result of the response the channel received from our broadcast, Channel 6 presented us a beautiful plaque and a $100 donation!

Stuffed Animals for the Children
At the June 27th Meeting, we made stuffed animals for the children at the Advocacy Center. Those of us who stayed after the meeting to do this had so much fun!
These animals provide much needed comfort to children who have become a victim or crime. Together We, 'Put a Smile on a Child's Face!
