Voting for the Windjammers
Nine Who Care Finalist
Beginning on September 7, 2010 and continuing through 11:59 p.m. on September 21, 2010 anyone is eligible to vote for the Nine Who Care Grand Prize winner by logging onto www.wsoctv.com/family.
You can vote one time, each day, during the voting period. The finalist who receives the most on-line and mail-in votes will be named the Grand Prize winner. Currently, the Windjammers have won $900 but if they are Grand Prize winners they will win $2000 instead of the $900 for the Ride for the Children. Please support them with your vote.
Congratulations Windjammers
Since 1991 the Windjammers Motorcycle Club has been coming to Aaron's House on the Sunday before Christmas to bring toys to all the children in foster care and a monetary gift for CHCC. This year, 2010, will be the twentieth time this event has taken place. In honor of that milestone we nominated WJMC for one of the WSOC-TV Nine Who Care Awards - and they are finalists!
Starting September 7th the WSOC website will have an option to vote for one of the nine finalists. The winner will claim a $2000 prize for the agency that nominated them. Please join CHCC in congratulating the Windjammers for their hard work over the last twenty years and vote for them to be the WSOC winner!

Making a Plan to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
According to statistics provided by Darkness to Light one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by the age of 18. This is an epidemic that we need to stop! Adults have the responsibility of protecting children but we aren't always sure of what to do. This training is designed to help adults make a plan that ensures a child's safety. The training is offered by CHCC to church groups, book clubs, civic organizations, school groups and community sports groups - anyone that works with children. If you would like to discuss scheduling, or sponsoring, a group training please call Margie at 704-484-2558. We can make a difference.
