Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! We pray that the Lord brings you refreshment to begin 2011. If when flipping your calendars you  find a month already filled with activities, events, deadlines, doctor appointments, and more, we understand. We  flipped our calendar page too.

As we present possibilities for your teens' involvement, we encourage you to remember that no one is expected to try out all of the suggestions. In fact, you may want  to file this newsletter away for another day (or another year!) and concentrate instead on the full plate in front of you. On the other hand, if your energy allows and your teens are gung ho, then read on.

There are many potential avenues to involve your children in competitions and organizations that provide opportunities to recognize, reward, and promote their  achievements. Each of your teens has been gifted in a unique way. Not all of them will excel in the same way, so seek out areas where your teens' traits and qualities can shine.
