I wanted everyone to know that I am very busy being Jr. Miss Henry County!  I will quickly get you all caught up to date on what I have been doing!  Then my blogs will keep you current from there.

My community service platform is still....R.E.A.D.    I do not preach this too often, but it is the philosophy that I base my community service on.  I have decided to donate books to the Tree of Knowledge.  Marlene Graves has been wonderful helping me distribute lots of books... I believe that I have donated about 1554 books so far... The books have mainly gone to The Flickinger Learning Center! This is a center that offers after school assistance to elementary school children.  They highly promote reading...they even pay the kids to read.  I volunteer there on Mondays and Fridays.  I read to children... I also have to look up the reading level and accelerated reader test number for all the books that I donated.  I really feel great about how much I am helping the center. 

On the side.... I am collecting the pink yoplait lids for breast cancer and  pop tabs at my school!  So, if you want to eat yogurt and send lids to me...great!  If you want to send them yourself... great!

until the next time I BLog!

Dream big...Matilyn Hepker
