                           Operation Joy

Community Volunteers are hard at work on Operation Joy for this year's charity. Go Jen Go has 20 families wanting to have a great Christmas and NFC is taking on 3 of them. Each family member was asked what 3 gifts they desired. A total of 36 gifts were listed by the NFC-sponsored families.

The organizational structure to fulfill Christmas wishes of the families will be implemented through NFC's 24 interest groups.

If you are an NFC member who doesn't attend an Interest Group this month, we still need your help. You can fill a stocking or care bag, select an item off the gift list or donate money. We will provide the stocking and care bag to be filled.

Call Susan Brandenburg or Lisa Byrnewith any questions, to pick a gift off the list or to fill a stocking or a care bag.

Help us to succeed in bringing joy to these families!

New Friends of Carolina (NFC) is what you’ve been looking for. Founded in 1989 as a not-for-profit social club for women, NFC welcomes both new comers to the Carolinas as well as those who have lived here for years.

There’s no need for concern about pressure. You’ll find the members of our club to be both friendly and welcoming. They simply want you to join in the activities and have some fun. There’s something for everyone. For a complete list of activities, see INTEREST GROUPS below.

President's Message

The President's Message

Good Day Friends,

In the coming weeks, New Friends will be collecting donations through our interest group events for our Community Volunteers' project Go Jen Go's Operation Joy. In order for you to better understand who we are supporting with this effort, please read the profiles below of each of the three NFC supported families that will be receiving Christmas gifts from us.

Mom #1 is a breast cancer survivor. She is currently pregnant with her second daughter. During her pregnancy, her breast cancer returned. Her recent surgery removed the tumor, and she had clean margins. Currently cancer-free, she will have treatment to complete after she delivers in October.

Mom #2 is a mother of two young boys. Due to Stage III breast cancer, she is unable to work due to treatments. Her mother moved in to help. She is going through chemotherapy, surgery and additional adjuvant therapy based on her responses to treatment.

Mom #3 is a mother of three young children. She is unable to work due to treatments and doctor's appointments. She receives food stamps. Friends and family are helping as best they can with groceries and childcare. She is searching to find a job that she can work remotely.

Our goal is to provide 36 gifts for the three women with cancer diagnoses, 6 children, 1 husband, 1 grandmother, and one baby being born this month. In addition, each child is to get a stocking and each mom is to get a care bag of comfort items from our club. Please count your blessings and give generously. Our November luncheon speakers will be from Go Jen Go. Let's have a strong attendance to support this worthy organization.

Debbie Williams, President
New Friends of Carolina
