Updates!

Hello all!
Spring is upon us and we are VERY busy here at the Center! With warmer weather comes a plethora of great events. There is one correction to the previous list: The BRPC Open House on April 18th is from 1pm - 4pm.

I would like to take the opportunity to speak to our volunteers, friends and supporters for a moment if you would be so kind as to give me an ear. As the summer months press in on us and vacations come around, kids are out of school and yard work beckons please do not forget to support all that the Center has put together for the purpose of awareness and community involvement. In the midst of all the busyness we are still in need of your prayers, attendance and giving. We need the presence of those that God has drawn to this ministry behind us. As a small staff of seven we are only able to do so much but with the help of all that are called we can indeed move mountains.
Our annual Walk for Life is May 1st this year and we need the support of each and every one of you to make this day a success. As we plan and pray for God's blessing I am mindful that He uses one person at a time to build a storehouse of blessings. We ask that you be a part of our Walk this year, get your friends, families and churches involved and be the instrument that God uses to pour forth His blessing upon the unborn....for the generations to come!

Spring Into Life Market and Family Expo

Fresh on the heels of Big Pearl Paintball we are gearing up for our Spring Into Life Market and Family Expo. The 2nd Annual Market will take place March 20th from 11am-4pm at the Holiday Inn Select Downtown. The purpose of the Market is two-fold: first, to cultivate awareness of the Pregnancy Center and its mission and secondly, to create exposure for local businesses, organizations and vendors within our community.

The day will be filled with activities for the whole family. Dance Creations in Wyndhurst will be performing intermittently throughout the day. There will be a seperate expo for children complete with face painting, story-telling and the like. Businesses and vendors selling unique, one-of-a-kind items will be on display for shopping and information purposes. And best of all? Admission is FREE!

Right now, most specifically, we are looking for vendors to come and be a part of this event. We are looking for any area of interest that would benefit a family living in Central Virginia. For example, health and fitness, finance and insurance, personal services (spa, hair care, aesthetics), home improvement, churches and family recreation to name a few. Cost to participate is $100 and all proceeds go to the Center. If you or someone you know is interested in participating please contact Kelly Speas or Stephanie McBride at BRPC (434)528-9750 as soon as possible. Our goal is to limit vendors to one per industry however, we may bend on that if necessary. Thank you for your continued support!
