Pinwheel Garden

On Friday, April 9th, staff and volunteers planted a Pinwheel Garden in honor of the 800 child victims of abuse and neglect in the Brazos Valley in 2009. The garden is located on Texas Avenue next to Jacque's Toys and Books in Bryan. We encourage the community to visit the 800 pinwheels in our garden, and to remember that all children deserve the opportunity to experience safe, happy and healthy childhoods.

"Go Blue" on Wednesday, April 7th

Last year in the Brazos Valley, there were 800 child victims of abuse or neglect. On Wednesday, April 7th, we urge you to show your commitment to stop child abuse by wearing a blue shirt, dress, tie or ribbon. “Go Blue” to remember these young victims and join us in helping to raise awareness about child abuse in our community.

Report suspected abuse or neglect to the Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 or online at www.txabusehotline.org.

Boots & Bowties Was a Huge Success!

Scotty's House held it's annual Valentine's Dinner and Dance on Saturday, February 13th at the Brazos County Expo Center. The theme of this year's event was "Boots & Bowties,"and there was plenty of boot scootin' that evening thanks to Zona Jones and his band. J. Cody's served up an incredible steak dinner that people are STILL talking about! The Little Aggie Wranglers also provided us with some fantastic entertainment full of flips, dips and spins!
