Chicktime July:

Chicktime Columbia was jammed packed with great information! A College Day workshop opened up great discussions on college, options, student loans, deciding on a major, what to wear and what not wear during an interview and just overall interview etiquette! The girls were shown four different interview outfits and had to decide if it was appropritate or not! They seemed to really like this! #ChicktimeIsAlwaysAwesome!

 

June Update:

We had so much fun with the girls of Epworth! We enjoyed an awesome pizza party and played a heated game of family feud with them!

Days like today are a reminder of what it is that Chicktime Columbia exists!!

It is with great joy that we honor Claudia Staley for establishing Chicktime Columbia and building such a strong community of volunteers to serve the local children of Columbia recovering from abuse and/or neglect. When I look back over the chapter’s website, I am humbled by the work accomplished as a team under Claudia’s leadership.

 

Claudia is being transferred out of the area with her job and we are in desperate need of a new managing leader for Chicktime Columbia. Until someone emerges to lead, unfortunately there will be no more organized activities. We encourage you to continue volunteering on your own with the charities and we also encourage you to consider chapter leadership.
