Don't forget to turn in your kiddos Duck Derby packets. The girls will be going to all the local elementary schools to collect the packets on Monday morning so we can start numbering the ducks for the big race!

For those of you guys who do not know it is duck Derby season!

We rely on corporate sponsors to make this fun family friendly free event possible but also for us to reach our spring fundraiser goal.

It was brought to my attention this weekend that our sponsorship letter stated that the deadline was April 5th. 😩 That is incorrect! You have until April 13th to get your sponsorship check in and still have your name on the banners at the event.

If you are interested in sponsoring our event, we are asking for donations of $250.

We would like to thank our current list of sponsors:

Gehlbach and Royse Funeral Home
Kellums Imprints
Alpha Chi Omega Alumna
Sunrise Recovery
Freedom Christian Church
Devoe's Automotive
Beanblossom Cesar Funeral Home
Jasper Engines and Transmission
Peyton Technical Services
Fred Smith Store Fixtures

We hope you will choose to support the Genesis house spring fundraiser this year.

Last night we had the honor of graduating our 78th graduate, Miss Mandi.
We are very proud of her commitment to her recovery.
Getting a graduation date at GH is not an easy feat, but what you choose to do after graduation is the most important.
We are excited to watch Mandi grow and change as she transitions out into the real world.
We love you sis. Congratulations!
P.S. Mandi's goal at GH was to get her "💩 in a group" and she decided we all needed theme shirts for the night. Thanks for the laughs.

Kick your habits kickball game was a huge hit tonight.
The weather was perfect. The music was blaring. The kiddos were jumping. The corn hole boards were going.
We served up hot dogs, nachos and popcorn for concessions.
We are so grateful for the beautiful space and the perfect weather for this event.

Sometimes our work requires specialized training.
There isn't anyone else I'd rather team build with other than these incredible ladies.
While you see my face the most, just know that these seeing women are standing right behind me helping to make things happen.
I'm so proud of their commitment to their recovery and to their jobs.
Also need to say you probably don't want to mess with any of us because between axe throwing, laser tag and boxing, we're pretty big contenders.

Today we would like to congratulate our 77th graduate. Miss Janice!
Miss Janice chose not to have a graduation ceremony, but we want to celebrate her nonetheless.
She has been such a blessing to the house and has provided more community service hours than any previous resident.
Thank you for your commitment to your recovery and to the recovery community.
Congratulations!

Tonight we welcomed graduates 75 & 76.
Congratulations Miss Natashia and Miss Janet.
It was no easy feat but they stuck and stayed on the hard days and pushed towards personal goals along the way.
The community showed out and we had a full house, including 17 graduates in attendance.
It's such an honor watching these ladies bloom.

We had a wonderful evening at the spring women's conference where we heard about the Dreamgiver. We learned that we were created on purpose, for a purpose and how to lean into that purpose. We are blessed to have so many incredible women in our community that support us and welcome us.

We are SO grateful for our partnership with Lifelong Learning.
Yet another one of our residents has obtained her GED!
We also have a group of graduates currently working on their peer support certification through them.
Congrats Natashia! We are proud of you sis.
