February - Fresh Start for Women is proud to announce the graduation of its first group of women for the 2008 year. The graduation took place on Thursday February 21, 2008. Founder Janice Pettigrew presented the women with certificates of completion and a watch. She encouraged the women to continue their journey to a "Fresh Start" and promised to check back to see how they were doing.
March - An informational session was held at the Gresham Road Library for persons interested in volunteering and potential board members.
April - Fresh Start for Women held a FUNdraiser at Max & Erma's located at 1155 Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta. Max & Erma's has a long history of giving back to the community. One way they give back is by allowing nonprofit organizations to have a day in which patrons presenting a special flyer upon paying for their meal net 20% the meal cost to the organization. Said Mrs. Pettigrew, "This was the first time for Fresh Start for Women to participate and we look forward to doing so again".
May - Janice Pettigrew became a member of the Last Day Oureach Dream Team broadcast heard on WYZE 1480am every Wenesday from 7:15pm to 8:15pm. Said Mrs. Pettigrew, "The opportunity to be a part of a program that lets people know what's happening in their community has been a very positive connection. Through my participation I have had the opportunity to network with many others serving the community."
June - Janice Pettigrew and board member Tracy Kemp appeared as guests on the jfjlivetalkradio internet radio show. Host TC later informed the pair of the positive feedback he received regarding their appearance. Fresh Start for Women will have its own internet radio show expected to debut in August.
