Back-to-School time is the second-biggest shopping season of the year –

Families will spend an average of $519 per student on school supplies,
computers, clothing, and accessories. When low-income families are

already struggling to pay for other necessities, school-related expenses
can add worry and difficulty to their situation.

How can you Help? – Donate School Supplies during our Back to School
Donation Drive July 22-August 2! We have collection boxes in the foyer

here at HQ. If you’re a telecommuter, you may donate here or inquire
with your local AAA Branch to see if they are collecting also.

Brad Henry, the Governor of Oklahoma from 2003-2011 once said:

“Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place.

Have Faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing

you cannot accomplish.”

Each day you face challenges both in your work like and your

home life. Remember that when you are struggling and facing
these trials and tribulations: You can do this, and you are not

alone. You’ve made it to today, and tomorrow means you made it
one more day. Believe in who you are and what you can do, and

amazing things can happen. Why? Because you are amazing!
