A special
volunteer has joined the TLC family of supporters. Nancy MacCready
recently moved to the Kansas City area from Chicago with her
husband, Paul. Shortly after arriving she decided to get involved in
the community and meet some new people. Nancy joined the Johnson
County Young Matrons and learned about TLC. After visiting TLC's
campus, Nancy generously offered her time and support, should we
need it…and we did! In the past few months, Nancy has been out to
TLC several times to help out in the office and answer the phones.
She has volunteered in the shelters spending time with the youth and
has helped with TLC's Hoops for Kids event, as well as joining the
United for Kids Gala committee. And these are just a few of her
volunteer activities! Nancy has jumped in head first to support TLC
and we could not be more grateful!
Thanks for all you do Nancy!!!

Dine Out For Kids:
A new Campaign for TLC Kicks Off
Many people are
amazed when they discover the number of children and youth in our
community who are in need of TLC's services. In 2004, TLC served
approximately 5,300 children. That number jumped to nearly 8,000 in
2005 and we expect the numbers to keep growing in 2006. In an
attempt to accommodate the growing number of children who need our
services, TLC is kicking off a new fundraising campaign. “Dine Out
for Kids” is a unique fund raising endeavor that asks local
restaurants to pick one day either annually or quarterly that they
would be willing to donate 20% of their sales for the entire day to
TLC. This provides area restaurants a great opportunity to work
together and give back to the community in a collective effort. A
few area restaurants that have already agreed to become part of the
“Dine Out for Kids” campaign including Zio's Italian Kitchen located
at 11981 S. Strang Line Road in Olathe and the Great Mall and Santa
Fe location Applebee's! Zio's has generously offered to do a benefit
for TLC once a month for the rest of the year! The next Zio's “Dine
Out for Kids” date is June 5th . The Applebee's located on Santa Fe
in Olathe has chosen 4 dates to support TLC: June 13th , July 13th ,
August 9th and September 14th . The Great Mall Applebee's “Dine Out
for Kids” date will be announced soon! Please support TLC by dining
at participating “Dine Out for Kids” restaurants.
