July was filled with summer fun! Thanks to our workshop leaders who put together all these activities for the girls. Slip and slide volleyball was super fun! The salad spinning art was such a creative idea. Pong and crafts are always a favorite! Please join us in August for more fun activities with the girls at New Life!

It’s going to be a wonderful day for an ICECREAM social for all the kids at the shelter! Thank you to all who contributed to make this event a memorable one!
Special thanks to #HEBHelpingHere, Amanda Naranjo (goodies), Diana Martinez (boys n girls cross bracelets) and Karen Smith (goodies) for everything! Can’t wait to see their pictures! Will be posted on comments when we receive them.
There are two different projects in this post, so scroll the way to the bottom!
Project 1
Rock Painting Free Design
Materials
You could purchase a rock painting kit (at local craft stores and Five Below)
and it will come with everything you need. The kit is not necessary, however.
Below is what to purchase if you do not have a kit.
Rocks (river rocks are very smooth and great for painting)
Paintbrushes
Cups for Water
Tempera Paint
Stickers
Glitter
Paper Towels
Plates for Paint
Procedure
Squeeze various colors of tempera paint on a plate.
Make a plate of paint colors for each person.
Give each person a paintbrush, cup of water to clean brushes, and a paper towel on which to wipe brushes
Give each person a rock and have them start painting.
After they are finished painting their rock they can decorate with glitter, stickers, ribbon, or any other decorative items you have provided.
Lay rocks on paper towel to dry.
Project 2
Rock Cacti in Pot

Our July workshop was all about a little weird science. We made homemade lava lamps and compared the reaction to hot vs cold. We ate a little pizza and played a little basketball. The kids were so excited that we even wanted to play with them.
The little things.
Just showing up.
It matters.

We had so much fun today with the girls!
We brought snacks and games and a karaoke machine.
The girls sang their hearts out today.
It brought tears to our eyes because they are so talented.
We felt like we were judges on America’s Got Talent
because these girls just began singing and bringing tears to everybody’s eyes.
And it’s so heartbreaking because the world may never get to hear their talent.
These girls have gifts and talents that God gave them, that the world needs,
and unless people invest in them and pour into their lives, they may never realize how gifted and talented they are
and never use their talents. So I pray if you’re reading this that you will get involved
because the girls need you. Because we need them.
We also played a game where we had to do the tasks on the card
which left us all cracking up. I might have prank called Pizza Hut today. 
And we gave the girls book bags filled with school supplies.
We forgot to take pictures of that though.
We appreciate everyone who donated school supplies to help these girls get started back on the right foot.
It was an amazing feeling to see these girls filled with such joy today and having fun and relaxing and just being able to be themselves.
They don’t get to really do that a lot. So we appreciate everyone who made that happen.
Next month we will be doing slip and slide kickball along with a few other water games,
so let us know if you would like to volunteer with us.

July Update:
Chicktime Tampa,
I just want to take a minute to highlight an amazing woman that Chicktime Tampa has been so fortunate to have as a volunteer turned leader for the last three years. Taylor Lauren has been with us since day one and has made a huge impact on not only our chapter, but the lives of the girls we serve.
During her time with us she has brought a mentorship program into fruition, organized our first ever virtual 5k that helped fund a clothing “boutique” for the foster home, recruited volunteers and donors to help us fulfill our mission, and SO MUCH MORE!
Taylor was offered a promotion within her company and will be relocating out of state. While we are incredibly sad to lose her, we are also so incredibly proud for all she has accomplished and what her future holds.
Joyfully,
Angie
Managing Leader for Chicktime Tampa
Supplies Needed
Oversized black construction paper
Card stock
Watercolors
Oil pastel crayons Crayons
Markers
Glue sticks
The construction paper can be any color I suggest black for the background because it makes the art pop
Procedure:
Cut the card stock into 4 squares or rectangles
Let your inner artist flow
I recommend drawing your picture with oil pastels.
Then add accents with marker.
Finally, go over the picture with watercolor. It will fill in the rest of the space.
Paste all four pieces and
Bam! Enoy your masterpiece!

This month we put the FUN in the fundamentals of living. The girls learned about money and budgeting, healthy eating, and decorated recipe boxes. Special shout out to our volunteers for being there to share their experience and guidance. Rachel, Julie, and Carol shared about budgeting. Angela and Juli mixed up some awesome smoothies and shared about healthy nutrition. And, Merrilee provided some awesome supplies and crafting expertise to the girls decorating recipe boxes. We appreciated our newest volunteer and Lori was great engaging with the girls at each station. Thank you to all our volunteers! We love that you love the girls!

How we spent this past Sunday afternoon. Our virtual workshop leader had to reschedule for a different month and still no in-person workshops are allowed with our charity partner.
Since we completed our vaccinations weeks ago and hadn’t seen each other in-person for months, we stepped out on faith and met up at Sandi’s house to create origami activity packs for the kiddos at SafeHaven of Tarrant County SafeLiving group.
Thank you Sandi for the great idea and opening your home for our fellowship. #lovingourcharitypartner

We are so grateful that Boysville has reopened their campus to volunteers! What a fun morning we had today reuniting with old friends and making new ones as we played bingo and ate some delicious pastries. Thank you to the ladies of the Campanas neighborhood for providing the awesome bingo prizes and sweet treats. We had such a good time and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to serve the teens at Boysville once again. Thank you Lord for keeping us all safe over the last year so that we can continue out mission. And, we ask that you continue to watch over the kids and staff at Boysville and shower them with love and blessings.
