Greetings!
New Chicktime Chapter
As Chicktime continues to grow, we celebrate and give all glory to God. It seems
quite remarkable and to be honest miraculous to some that doors and hearts have
swung open to make all of these Chicktime groups possible.
In the Works!
Is there a Chapter near me?

But not to me. I can literally SEE a Chicktime group in every community across our
nation. Why? There are children everywhere in need of the touch of their Father's
love... and women everywhere searching for a way to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
So celebrate with me the love that abounds in our world. Celebrate with me the provision of God as women
everywhere walk in His wlll and fulfill the purpose He has for our lives. And celebrate with me this Chicktime tool
that has been made possible by God alone.
Joyfully,
Lori Rhodes
Chicktime Founder
P.S. If you have ever had someone in your life that gets on your nerves, especially in the body of Christ, let me
share this scripture with you. "As followers of Christ we are intimately connected in the Spirit. We are each a living
staone connected to other living stones, and God keeps working on us until we fit together!" 1 Pe 2:5

Food for thought: Have you ever wanted to deepen your relationships with the women in your life... with your
daughters, your mothers, your sister, your friends... bring them to Chicktime and watch the walls come down... that
is how the Holy Spirit works... walk in service to Him... and all your heart's desire will become yours. We can't
explain it... we just know it to be true! And talk about new friendships... these are the real kind based on purpose
and love.
Chicktime Gear
To purchase Chicktime Gear contact your local Chicktime Chapter. All proceeds go towards their local charities.
Chicktime Gear is available wholesale only to Chicktime Chapters. Contact lori@mlrhodes for current wholesale
pricing.

In March we will be baking cupcakes for a new restaurant opening in
Gruene. Every Friday will be dedicated to 'Cupcakes for CASA'.
Please tell all of your friends about this new adventure in Gruene!
Let's get the word out about CASA!
Cooking for a cause is available to do family meals with a bit of
notice... for you or maybe even for a friend you would like to 'treat'.
Our home cooked meals are a great way to 'bless' someone you love
who might be recovering from an illness, too busy to cook, or just
needs a little reminder of how much they are loved! And remember,
100% of our profits are donated to local children's charities.
To learn more about CASA visit their website at

Chicktime InCourage
The Chicktime InCourage moms and daughters celebrated Valentine's Day with a fabulous progressive dinner!
Appetizers and uplifting "Praise-a-thon" started at the Juricas, we continued at the Erhardts with a mexican feast
and the girls were presented with a surprise gift - a love letter from their earthly fathers while also contemplating
the unending love of their heavenly Father! We wrapped up the evening with dessert at the Elmendorfs and a
laughter and eye-opening round of "The Mother/Daughter game" (a take-off on the Newlywed game). Many thanks
to all who participated and attended!
The group is planning an outing to Laser Quest in the near future!
Chicktime InCourage is designed to bring moms and their freshman daughters together in fun and fellowship to
strengthen our relationships and those of our peers.

Complete! Thanks to the generosity of Chicktime donors and through the Make A Difference gala benefiting New
Life, the girl's new furniture is on the way! Thanks to everyone who participated!!!
Goal: raise $43,000 to replace flood damaged worn out furniture in the 30 bedroom New Life cottages
Status: Raised $43,000
New Children's Home and possible Name Change:
The leadership of Chicktime New Life visited St. Judes Ranch in Smithson Vally this past month and it is on our
heart to design programs and bring Chicktime to St. Judes! We are praying for a leader to emerge for this new
adventure and to find out who would like to receive invitations as well as lead monthly Chicktime events at St.
Judes. These children are not in treatment and have many more freedoms than the New Life girls have. They are
also hungry for spiritual care which is currently not a huge part of the St. Judes experience. If you would like to
learn more, contact Jennifer Clarke at [email protected]
Once we integrate St. Judes into our Chapter, we will need to change our name to reflect the populations we
serve... so if you have an opinion, please share! [email protected]
We are currently considering Chicktime New Braunfels as we pull many volunteers from New Braunfels and the
surrounding community.

PSM March Event
Chicktime RGV
Thanks to all the ladies who came out this month, donated supplies, and helped with prep
service for February's Chicktime RGV indoor/outdoor field day.
10 children enjoyed Connect Four, coloring, memory, and jump rope we planned for them.
The weather was wonderful and the children and staff appreciated the individual attention our
group provided.

What is Chicktime National
Chicktime, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) public charity. With the new Chicktime groups forming, it is
important for all members to realize there is a 'ʹparent'ʹ organization that each Chick belongs to
as well as her local Chicktime Group! We have decided to refer to Chicktime, Inc, the umbrella
for our non-­‐‑profit status as Chicktime National. Chicktime Inc. is our official name... but that
is oh so boring!
This is important because in addition to the individual Chicktime group events, Chicktime

National will also hold quarterly events as a way to introduce the idea of Chicktime to new
friends and to provide opportunities for ALL the Chicks to come together.
Our conversations at the national events always seem to boil down to a common theme... the
intrigue that so many women in one room share a common vision! Chicktime National offers
a mission or leadership trip each spring, a summer retreat just for fun, as well as our national
conventionuld in the fall.
What is Chicktime
Chicktime is a grass roots movement meant to support and encourage women living on the wild side, pursuing
their passions with gusto. It is our belief that if each woman on the planet right now takes her place we can
together accomplish the phenomenal.
