As you all are well aware,
we have had two separate task forces (ACES Pickens
and ACES Fannin/Open Arms) working on opening emergency
shelters for children in our judicial circuit. These
groups have continued to grow and foster greater
support in the respective counties. Our
good news is, that as of April 14, 2006, those
organizations were officially released to exist as
their own entity and are no longer under the umbrella
of the ACC. We are excited about these
advancements and we have a true sense of fulfillment
to have these organizations stand on their own.
