CFS will celebrate 25th
Anniversary
Catholic Family
Service, Inc. (CFS) will celebrate its 25th anniversary
at a special event to mark this milestone in the organization’s
history. This Catholic Charities agency serves people in need in
Lubbock and 29 other counties of the South Plains of Texas,
assisting approximately 27,000 people each year through its various
programs. Current and former Board and committee members, staff,
volunteers and supporters of CFS will gather on Friday, October 23,
2009, at Christ the King Cathedral, and will prayerfully reflect on
the growth of CFS from its early days. Participants will be
challenged to respond with even greater charity and resourcefulness
to current and future needs throughout the South Plains area.
Catholic Family Service provides help and hope to individuals and
families in need regardless of race/ethnicity, religion or gender.
The primary programs of CFS include: Emergency Assistance (help
with food, medications, rent, utilities, dental and eye care, and
transportation), the Resale Center (assisting with clothing,
furniture and household items), Legalization services, At Risk Youth
Program, Self Sufficiency Program, Elderly Outreach, and Adult and
Family Counseling.
The Board and Staff
of CFS are most grateful to the many people who support the agency’s
mission of service to “the least among us.” This occasion of twenty
five years of service is an opportunity to celebrate all that has
been accomplished, and to look forward with hope to many years of
bringing compassionate help to those most in need on the South
Plains.

Hello friends and Core Team members,
I wanted to share some pictures with all of you. They were taken on
June 18
and 19, 2009. I had been planning the East Side Clean up Campaign
for
months. When planning this event I never imagined we would have so
many
volunteers. Over 50 volunteers came to help. They included groups
from the
Dalby Facility, Garza County, City of Post, and White River lake
Retreat,
Probation Dept. and The Victims Assistance program. We also had many
residents from the east side neighborhood come to help, Wow!!
Pleasant Home
Baptist church located in the east side (Rev.Kelly's church) served
as the
meeting place. Volunteers served up a hotdogs and drinks provided by
the
Dalby Facility.
I would also so like to share the names of people and businesses
that
helped the Post East Side Clean-up Campaign be such a great success.
Judge
Lee Norman, Paul and Carla Perez, Pat Cruse, Sonic Drive -in, Melvin
and
Bessie Lee, Marvin Wynn and Jed, Bea Bustos, Rev. Arthur Kelly,
Warden Kerry
Dickson, Raquel and Randy Britton, Dawn Bilberry, Susan Little,
Ronnie
Riggs, RC Curtis, Associate Wardens Hugh Bryan and Larry Bond, Phil
Tyler,
Onesimo Garza, Joel Poe, Ted Brannon, Billy Winkle, Sue Crawford,
Arlene
Guerrero and Pauline Flores. And I could go on and on.
Just imagine what mountains can be moved if we all work together.
Keep hope in your heart,
Reyes Pequeño - Rural Community Organizer

Catholic Family Service is
holding its major fundraiser for the year, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER XVIII," on
Sunday, June 7th, 2009, at the Catholic Renewal Center at 4th and Toledo
in Lubbock. The evening begins with a social hour and silent
auction, featuring a wide variety of unique and interesting items on which
to bid. During this time as well, an exquisite array of foods,
desserts, and beverages will be served. A live auction will begin
shortly thereafter.
Tickets for "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER XVII"
are being sold for $100 each. A ticket entitles the holder and one
guest to attend the event, and each ticket holder will be entered into a
drawing for a grand prize valued at $10,000. Attendance at the event
is not required to win the drawing.
This evening affair is the only annual
