"You are a Precious Jewel" was the brainchild of board president Donna R. Shaw, who had expressed a desire to have a positive impact on the lives of young girls in today’s fast paced society. With that thought in mind the FSFW program was redesigned with our young charges in mind. The goal being to provide an environment in which we could offer meaningful and constructive dialogue on how to avoid the pitfalls that could lead to domestic violence or other destructive elements.
The day long workshop was held Saturday September 9, 2006 at the Flat Shoals library in Dekalb County where the young ladies in attendance had an opportunity to openly discuss such issues as peer pressure, self-worth, self-esteem and goal setting.
The positive feedback received from the young ladies in attendance as well as many of the parents have encouraged us to make the “You are a Precious Jewel” a permanent part of our community involvement. Please continue to check the FSFW calendar for the next offering. Plans are in the works to turn the all day workshop into a full weekend event.
