Charleston Downtown News
Our Chapter went down the road to lead Chicktime New Braunfels Downtown. Here is their write up about the experience….
God is using you because you are strong enough to do His work. 💗 What a wonderful evening we had yesterday @ Connections! The talented Lora Williams captured everyone’s hearts as she spoke about the choices we have in life & the endless love that He has for us. She unapologetically told the story of her past (the good, the bad & the ugly) to connect to the teens in ways we couldn’t have imagined!
Thank you Lora & thank you to all the Chicktime volunteers for pouring your love into children that need it so much. We are grateful for all of you!

February Update:
Our February workshop was a special one. We worked on “No Worries” book. The kids started the evening off by coloring a page that said “I am Important”. Had them read it aloud first then say it even louder! Filled in a page to write what they like about themselves and things they are good at, I’m funny, and “I’m kind”.
There is a page in the book to tear out an tear into tiny pieces (alternative way to deal with stress). They loved it and said they felt better. We did crafts after the book time.
February Update:
Another Chicktime Little Rock Workshop in the books!!!!
We had so much fun with our friends over at Immerse Arkansas as we put our own spin on the popular show from Food Network, “Chopped”. Those in attendance were tasked to make a tasty dish, using only items from our makeshift pantry. We had everything from fruits and veggies, to pasta, to chicken and so much more! Our participants were able to make some of the following:
💕 Guacamole and crackers
💕 Chicken Alfredo
💕 Tossed Salad
💕 Pasta Salad
💕 Tomato Basil Pasta
Our chapter leader Angel wasn’t able to attend but her “twin sister” and Southern Belle Angela 😂😂😂 was able to lead the workshop. Definitely fun indeed!!!
Stay tuned for our March Workshop Invite!
February Update:
Our February workshops were awesome!
The girls learned about budgeting which was eye opening for some. They got an idea of how much it would cost to live on their own. We also learned about planting seeds and succulents. The girls planted them in their own container which they can keep and watch the plants grow. It was fascinating to learn how to plant and care for succulents.
And of course who doesn’t love a delicious treat. We decorated cupcakes with frosting and all kinds of sprinkles. It was such a fun and educational day! Thank you to all the volunteers who made this day so special for the girls.

What an exceptional day we experienced at New Beginnings today! Our leaders Hannah FC + Jacque Kelly led us through multiple activities rooted in cultivating quality relationships through BECOMING the friend you desire in your life.
We started with extreme rock, paper, scissors, reflected on what makes a good friend, played an incredibly impactful (blindfolded) trust game and created friendship bracelets.
💓 One of the best families you can create is your network of friendships! We are so grateful for our Chicktime and New Beginnings family. 💓

It’s so humbling to serve these girls!
Their resilience and openness is something only from God.
Tonight was all about wellness with a fitness focus.
They had great questions and all got to learn some great new ways to firm and tighten their mind.body.spirit.
Nothing like a little Chicktime!

February Update:
Our annual February Chicktime workshop ~ Cooking with Kelly~ was as always… yummy! Every year, Kelly Hoog, volunteers to lead our February workshop as a birthday present to herself!
The teen girls benefit from her birthday present by learning something new to cook and get to EAT what they prepared! The menu this year was Chicken and Linguini Alfredo and Swiss Chocolate Squares for dessert.
After the meal was prepared, we circled up to bless the food and our time together and then broke bread around a set table. Our conversation was real and intimate.
We laughed and cried and left with both tummies and hearts full!

Thank you Alamo City LX Modern Mopar Group and. All our volunteers for spending your Saturday morning with the children at SJRC.
Thank you for teaching them auto essentials and sharing your passion for Mopar cars.

February Update:
Saturday Was a great day for Chicktime Galveston.
Anita, my sweet cousin led an amazing event and our volunteers helped the kids in making valentines for their moms as well as decorating cupcakes.
They played volleyball and ate yummy tamales rice and beans.
Why the picture of the tennis shoes?
These were my moms last pair of tennis and I wore them to remind me whose legacy this is.
At each event we start with a prayer and we let the kids and their parents know we are there BC Jesus loves them
We remind them that they are worthy.
We remind them that this is but a stepping stone in their road to God’s amazing plans for them.
Join the movement!!

The boys and girls had a blast today as they each decorated their Mardi Gras Masks, and boy were they creative! We were so happy to have 7 girls and 31 boys today. They had lots of fun and enjoyed all the snacks and drinks generously donated by H-E-B!
Thanks again to our volunteers for coming out and helping out. We truly appreciate you being there for all the kids. Enjoy their designs!
A HUGE shout out to our Workshop Leader, Elsa MacDougall for an AMAZING event. #HebHelpingHere

We had so much fun at our Spa Day event!
We gave the girls facials, did their nails, showed them how to do makeup,
and they completed vision boards!
Each girl also wrote something positive to encourage another girl in the room.
It was such a wonderful first workshop!
We can’t wait until next month!
February Update:
The girls Loved each moment of this workshop.
Who doesn’t love something sweet. It was something special to bring our hearts to our girls and engage with them in making sugar cookies, v-day popcorn bags, chocolate dipped strawberries, and raspberry and chocolate mouse cups.
There is nothing better than these special moments at our events really bringing joy to our girls. Please come and join us celebrate next month for a green themed St. Patty’s celebration.

Our 50’s sock hop was a success!!
We had music, dancing, Coke floats,
Valentine crafting, and cookie decorating!
We taught the girls some dance moves and they taught us some.
What was really awesome was when some of the girls came dressed in 50s attire!
They had been looking forward to us coming
and had picked out an outfit just for the day.
We 
these girls!
February Update:
We are so privileged to work with these kids at Saint John’s Program for Real Change!
They are so sweet, kind and creative.
Today we made Valentine’s Day Cards!
I also asked a few of the kids to make thank you cards for the Girl Scout group who donated our Christmas Stockings
and man these kids made the best cards.
See you in March!

Chicktime Nashville sends a special thanks to
 Anna Peterman for such a great Valentine’s craft day!
February Update:
On Saturday, we had the opportunity to serve the sweet girls at the East Valley Charlee House once again. We threw the BEST Galentines Party for them! Lisa Williams Canty was our fabulous hostess for the day and rocked it! From the buffet of the girls favorite foods, to the games and dance time, it was perfection. We saw smiles all around, heard laughter fill the air, and we had a great opportunity to let loose and connect with the girls. 😊 We look forward to every month we get to spend in service to them!
February Update
Carlson Gracie Lakeland hosted today’s event and was led by Andrew and Kelsey,
with additional aid from Regina and Sam.
Today was not just about learning self-defense skills,
but more importantly focusing on confidence and self-esteem!
The girls warmed up pretty quickly to the training, and I can see
several of them becoming very skilled in jiu-jitsu
(which may be possible as they have the option to continue working at
Carlson Gracie Lakeland if they’d like to at no cost (how amazing is that!!!!).
If you’re looking for your own stress relief and a
way to become less of a target for potential perpetrators,
I highly recommend checking them out.
They have a weekend class for women that sounds wonderful.
Another huge thank you to our volunteers today who made some long drives
just to work alongside the girls, compliment them, and ultimately show them that
there are people out in the community who enjoy spending time with them.

First Chicktime Little Rock Workshop of 2020 ✅!
What an amazing time we had today with our friends of Immerse Arkansas as our workshop leader Ms. Meshunda talked to us about our 2020 goals and how to achieve them, followed up with creating our vision boards.
Looking forward to hanging with the crew again next month. Stay tuned for our February invite. 💗💗
January Update:
Money matters! This week we played the Bean Game (developed by Next Gen Personal Finance) to talk about smart spending. Each girl got twenty beans and had to make some tough decisions about how to spend them on what really matters. We talked about the difference between needs and wants and how to start saving.
And what pairs better with The Bean Game than five layer bean dip!?
January Update:
Chicktime STL started out with a bang in 2020! Miss Sandy & Miss Joy taught is how to get organized for the new year!! They brought date books for everyone, stickers, that cute tape (forgot the name), calendars & lots of support!!! Miss Sandy says she has family date book parties where some fam members get together w/ their date books and map out scheds, goals etc & then plan how to achieve them. Wow!!! 😍😍😍That’s one of the greatest ideas we’ve had so far, and we’ve had some good ones!
The littles were so cute. Some lil cutie enjoyed her whipped cream! Pennie came thru with awesome decorating ideas, as always, and our new friend LOVED making plans for her new arrival this year. Thank you ladies for an ♥️AMAZING♥️ evening!
January Update:
Chicktime Bulverde started the New Year off with its annual Chicktime calendar and t-shirt designing workshop. The calendar hi-lites all the Chicktime workshops and events and even gives them something to color each month. Next, the designed a t-shirt with a “word of Inspiration” to live by for the next year.
There are a lot of talent with this group. We wrapped things up with lunch, consisting of tamales, chili, rice and queso. A big “shout out” to our wonderful volunteers who gave their Saturday morning to these kids.
Please join us next month as the Alamo City LX Modern Mopar Group shows the kids at SJRC basic car maintenance.
January Workshop:
Such a beautiful day! We had great wonderful conversations with the girls today as they decorated their hearts.
As a thank you, we gave the staff donuts and gingerbread for breakfast to let them know how much we appreciate them.
A huge thank you to H-E-B for the food, drinks and snacks – as usual, they truly enjoyed the treat. We cannot say enough about our awesome volunteers! You each bring so much joy to these beautiful souls ♡♡♡. #HEBHelpingHere

Last night we had so much fun doing WALL ART with our girls.
We mixed different paints and washi tape and used some pictures for inspiration.
The girls also enjoyed some nachos, did a sour juice taste test,
and ended with some cookie cake.
Our hearts are so full to have had such a good time with the young aspiring artists!

We had the BEST time at our first event of the year.
We started with our prayer circle were we reminded the families that they are LOVED that this is but a stepping stone to the greater things that God has for them.
Emma Posada read the Story of Jesus Birth and life to the kids and really touched my heart when she mentioned that they too would receive a gift as they too were special like Jesus. It brought tears to my eyes.
The kids enjoyed yummy pizza, a traditional rosca to celebrate the three Wise men that came to visit Jesus and brought him gifts.
They also each received a special gold coin and they got to make their very own crown and nativity scene!!
They got to take pictures with one of the wise men.
The children were very excited to receive toys and the families were able to participate in a free garage sale where they were able to receive free clothing and other items donated by so many volunteers.
We look forward to our next event on February 15!
Come join the movement!!
We are taking it on the road again! This time we are leading a workshop at
Chicktime New Braunfels Downtown! If you can make it…come on down!!
January Update:
This was the best way to continue to stand in the gap and lift up at- risk youth in 2020. Chicktime San Marcos & Chicktime San Antonio became one on Saturday!! Please read the reflections of Donnette Tyler ( Chicktime co-leader of Chicktime San Antonio) as she share our experience with the next generation of world changers. YES! That’s right God will always use the ones the world 🌎 tend to count out to make the most impact. I am one of many ….. #dontstopupliftingothersin2020
Chicktime San Antonio’s January 2020 workshop was all kind of WOW!!
Thank you to our workshop leader, Lora Williams, managing leader of our sister chapter, Chicktime San Marcos, for traveling to lead our first workshop of the year.
Thank you for bringing laughter, but also truth and hope in your skit via your character ” Sally Roe” to the teen girls at Boysville that we are blessed to spend time with every month. We loved the “Law and Order” theme of the skit using volunteers as the judge(God) and prosecuting attorney (world) to hear the case of young Sally Roe giving up on life because of all the bad decisions she made and hard times she had to endure…. but using the girls to be the Jurors and concluding that if God can forgive they can forgive too was just the very reason why we show up month to month! These broken, but beautiful girls need to hear the very message that you intentionally shared with them! God loves you NO matter what!! Thank you for the special yarn
game too. We believe giving the girls 4 different pieces of colored yarn to represent broken relationships, experiences ( good and bad), things we can’t forgive about ourselves, and our relationship with God to form a web ( representing our life without God) was such a powerful visual. A visual of what our life looks like when we don’t have God in our life to give us clarity to get through the web of life. The visual was stronger when volunteers cut the web~ piece by piece~ to make room for the white yarn (God) to help us find the clarity and peace found only in HIM. Thank you for wrapping up our time together by sharing your testimony that paralleled “Sally Roe’s” life. The journey that started much like the girls who live at Boysville, but that made it through the “web” because of Jesus Christ and is living out HIS purpose in a very courageous way! Thank you for singing and praying with the girls too.
January Update:
Our favorite workshop of all times is Mad Science Professor Positron is always engaging and fun!

An all and all perfect Chickitme workshop!

January Update:
We welcomed the new year at Casa De Amparo with dream boards.
Inspiring the girls to set their intentions, hopes and goals, through planning and the art of collage delivered them to dream without fear.
We pray that these girls have no imagining everything that God has put in their hearts to desire and fulfilling that with purpose and action.

December Update:
2019 has been a great one fo us here at Chicktime Little Rock!!! We ended the year rocking around the Christimsas Tree during our annual Christmas party with the youth of Immerse Arkansas.
