Letter from
Mr. Phil
I just got back from the National Philanthropy
Day luncheon held at the Chattanooga
Convention Center. The Philanthropy Day lun-
cheon is my favorite event of the year because
it celebrates the spirit of giving, caring and
responding to the needs of our fellow citizens.
At the luncheon, non-profit organizations like
ours are given the opportunity to honor an
individual or business that has made signifi-
cant contributions to that organization over
the past year. There were about 18 organi-
zations that honored an individual or busi-
ness but only the Children’s Home/Chambliss
Shelter had so many honorees that they could vices that we provide to our children and their A special thanks to all our friends who

Unum’s United Way
Fundraiser
M any thanks to Beth Hughes and her wonderful
department at Unum for featuring CH/CS on their
hole in the “Unum Open”. The putt-putt course was made
as a fundraiser for their company’s United Way campaign.
We just love how they created our new tree out of paper
mache and Styrofoam! What talent! Pictured left to right
are: Betty morris, paulette lemaire, lady Jackson and
Julie Jackson.
Help us decorate our christmas tree!
A very generous friend of CH/CS has spent his time hand
painting dozens of Christmas ornaments. They are glass balls
with winter scenes, angels, reindeer, and other holiday symbols.
The Christmas trees inside of the Children’s Home really need
some more ornaments, and the donor of the ornaments would
like them to be used to raise money. This is where you can help
out! Send us a donation in the enclosed envelope of $100 or more,
and we will put your name (or the name of a person in whose
honor or memory the gift is made) on an ornament and hang it on
our tree. Come by and see your name hanging in our hallway or
just know that your gift will be used to make the holidays brighter
for our little ones!
Ragnar Relay
O ne hundred and fifty running teams took part in the inaugural
Ragnar Relay event in Chattanooga on November 5th. This 12
person relay started in Coolidge Park on Friday and ended in Nashville
on Saturday, running through the night. One of these teams chose
to run for the benefit of our children, and was able to donate over
$1,300 to CH/CS! Not only did they spend the months and weeks
leading up to event training, but they also spent that time asking for
donations to help at-risk children. With one of their members injured,
they completed the race with only 11 runners in 32 hours! Great job!

H A l lo W e e N t r e At S
O ur children not only received treats of candy for Halloween, but were also treated to a field trip to TVA and a play by Bright School First Graders!
It was a busy day at CH/CS, full of children (and some adults) in cute costumes, the loading and unloading of buses, and small “trick or treat”s
heard all over. The four-year-olds traveled to TVA and walked around the third floor of the Lookout Place building packed with more than 150 TVA
employees. After gathering an enormous amount of candy, the children were given a pizza party, served by our wonderful TVA hostesses. At the
same time, our three-year-olds watched three Bright School classes perform “It’s a Jungle Out There”, a play about the importance of good friends.
The Bright School students came in adorable animal costumes to entertain our little ones with their stories and songs. Later in the day, the younger
children were able to trick or treat around the CH/CS campus to partake in the not-so-spooky fun! It was a fun, full day, and we thank all of those
who helped make it so special for our children!

TVA’s Day of Caring
S eptember is a month that all of us at CH/CS look forward
to. It’s the time when several volunteer groups come
out and spend hours and hours of their free time working
on our buildings and grounds. The largest of these groups
comes from TVA on their annual Day of Caring. Bringing
more than 75 employees who worked on dozens of projects,
the TVA volunteers tackled tasks from the highly difficult
to very messy. Painting, carpentry, cleaning, pruning
trees, hauling limbs, welding, shampooing carpets pouring
concrete….you name it; they did it. And, we can’t thank
them enough for their generous spirits and friendly smiles!
TVA employees are very special friends to this agency and Brandi Duggan, Angela
Peacock, Barry Simpson,

Goodbye, Ms. Portia!
A fter 38 years of dedicated service to CH/CS, ms. portia
lawson is retiring. She has served as a teacher in several
age groups, most recently in the Tumblers department. Ms.
Portia was hired by then new director Phil Acord in 1972
and has cared for thousands of children since that time.
Always punctual and willing to work, Portia has been a model
employee and will be greatly missed. Best wishes for a relaxing
retirement with no little hands to wash, messes to clean up, nor
diapers to change! She is pictured here with paulette (left)

All parents with children in the extended early childhood
education and childcare program were invited to attend the
