In honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, ACH is presenting the Lend A Hand Luncheon on Thursday, April 5, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm, at the Omni Hotel Fort Worth. Join us for the year's most valuable educational opportunity and learn more about local child welfare yesterday and today!
Hear comments from honorary chair, Russ Morton, namesake of his grandfather, Rusty Russell, who formed and coached the legendary high school football team at the Fort Worth (TX) Masonic Home for Orphans known as the "Mighty Mites" that captured both championships and the hearts of a depression-era America in the late 1920s and '30s. Their story, "Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football," told in the best-selling book by Jim Dent, is the basis of the film scheduled for production by Presidio Pictures in 2012.

Volunteers Needed.
Want to volunteer, but short on time? A small commitment of your time can mean a world of difference to a youth in crisis. ACH currently needs volunteers to help with the Safe Place program:
- "Boxed In" Campaign - Pass out Safe Place information at the Fort Worth Transportation Authority transfer stations during the week of Spring Break, March 12-17.
- Presentations - Give 45-minute Safe Place awareness presentations to youth in middle and high school classrooms.
- Site Checks - Visit current Tarrant County Safe Place sites to ensure that signs and materials are properly displayed and site employees are informed and trained on response procedures.
