I just wanted to share something that touched me this afternoon. The message below was posted on my Facebook page. I am a member of the group The Cabbage Patch Settlement House. The Cabbage Patch Settlement House is a nonprofit, Christian organization that exists to empower families and children to be self-sufficient by helping them maximize their spiritual, social, emotional, physical, moral, economic and educational potential. My father was very poor growing up and found refuge and enrichment at The Cabbage Patch. It was an impression that stayed with him and carried over in our household as long as I could remember. He made friends there that were friends his entire life. I'm not sure why, but the message that they posted just really seemed to strike a cord with me today. I guess in this politically correct world, it is refreshing to find The Patch still holding to its principals. They accept no federal funds.

Research has proved the value of gender specific activities so this past year The Cabbage Patch held several camps and ongoing programs for girls only or boys only. Girls' activities included dance team, basketball and softball. Last summer we held a Sugar & Spice camp which proved so popular it is now a year-round program.MakingTheHat
One of the most recent activities in the Sugar & Spice group was a Derby hat-making session.
