Teachers Saving Children^® Inc. - National

By faith, the Teachers Saving Children^® Inc. – National Board of Trustees last fall made a decision to once again apply for exhibit space in the huge display area during the pre-RA activities. With God’s help our exhibit puts the facts and the wonder of human development before the largest assembly of decision-makers in the teachers’ union. The purpose of our exhibit will be to once more promote and provide educational classroom materials especially for science and health teachers. Teachers Saving Children^® will be investing over $1500 for the exhibit space rental fee and miscellaneous fees.

This year the Teachers Saving Children^® Inc. – National Board of Trustees has made the decision as funds are made available to purchase multiple copies of the book Angel in the Waters by Regina Doman for our special feature item. This book is about a tiny baby who while growing in its mother’s womb explores the waters and talks with the angel who is there. This book will be an excellent resource to use with pre-school and elementary age children. High school child care classes will also be able to use this book as well. Teachers Saving Children^® has found over the past several years a high interest in the materials that we have purchased for our exhibit. It is our hope to raise the money needed to purchase a reasonable quantity of these materials as well as other valuable educational materials and videos that will be given away free of charge.

Through your giving of $5, $10, $20, and more, the Lord continues to miraculously provide the finances for this special ministry opportunity, and for that provision we are grateful. However, additional contributions are needed as we continue to prepare for this exhibit. Please prayerfully consider being a part of this special endeavor by sending in your contribution today.

Note: Please make checks payable to “TSC Inc. – National”. Please carefully note how the amount given is to be designated (“NEA Exhibit”) so that the contribution will be appropriately allocated.

If, in one way or another the message is communicated that teen pregnancy will cause more of a problem than teen sex, then we are inadvertently creating an incentive for abortion. After all, if one can abort the pregnancy without the family’s knowledge, why endure the trouble that will result by revealing it?

Parents in the home need to clearly communicate that although they have a standard of abstinence, if their teenager is pregnant or has contracted a sexually transmitted disease, they need to know they can come to you. Untreated STD’s can turn into pelvic inflammatory disease, which often renders girls infertile. We, parents, and the Church, need to make it clear that our goal is to encourage chastity, not punish pregnancy.

1. Election of Officers for the 2005-2006 fiscal year was held. Connie Bancroft will serve as the Executive Director; Gary Winney will serve as the Assistant Executive Director; Marianne O’Donnell will serve as Secretary; David Kaiser will serve as Treasurer.

2. The Board of Trustees approved an amendment to the Constitution & Bylaws: Article 2.5 Collection of Membership Fees. Beginning with the 2005-2006 membership year, State Affiliate Chapters shall receive 70% of the dues collected by the National Corporation from members residing within the State of the Affiliated Chapter. This percentage is a decrease from the current 80% being distributed to State Affiliate Chapters.

3. The Board of Trustees discussed the TSC exhibit for the NEA Expo 2005. It was approved to purchase with the funds made available as large a quantity as possible the book Angel in the Waters by Regina Doman. All monies for these purchases as well as other materials will need to be raised.
