Optimist Staff
Christian Homes of Abilene needs
more than $39000 by March 1 to
meet the $1886000 Mabee
Challenge Grant said Tim Yandell
director of development for Chris-
tian Homes of Abilene.
Yandell said $1846105.74 al-
ready has been donated.
"We haven't yet reached our goal
but we will in the next two weeks"
Yandell said.
The Mabee Challenge grant will
go toward new maternity facilities
at Christian Homes of Abilene.
Yandell said money comes in
every day from various foundations
churches and individuals.
Many people who work with
Christian Homes of Abilene con-
tribute he said.
Christian Homes of Abilene
publicized its challenge through the
Abilene Reporter-News and many
Christian brotherhood papers.
Christian Homes of Abilene a
Church of Christ organization is a
maternity home for unwed mothers
Yandell said. Women with an
unplanned pregnancy move into the
home when they are five months
pregnant. The home takes care of
them and counsel with them he
said.
Yandell said the women then
decide if they want to place their
children for adoption.
Most of the womeu choose !b
place their child for adoption he
said. When looking for the proper
family for a child the home gives
preference to Church of Christ fam-
ilies he said.
Giving a child up for adoption is
a "very emotional decision to
make" Yandell said. "They love
their babies."

Two staff and faculty members re-
ceived Addy awards from the Amer-
ican Advertising Foundation along
with two citations of merit Feb. 5.
The award was given for a graph-
ic poster used for the Center for the
Study of Aging. The poster features
94-year-old Earl Kiser and the
phrase "Be patient God isn't
finished with me yet. cither."
Ron Hadfield director of Com-
munication Services designed and
produced the poster and Steve
Butman a free-lancer was the pho-
tographer. Bruce Davis associate professor
of religious and gerontology studies
originally created the idea for the
poster.
The first Addy award received
was for black-and-white photogra-
phy and the other award received
was for the poster itself.
ACU received two merits of cita-
tion for local television campaign
and complete campaign Hadfield
said.
He said the local television cam-
paign consisted of five 30-second
commercials saying "Caring Serv-
ing Excelling the ACU dif-
ference." Hadfield said the complete cam-
paign consisted of print materials
television commercials and maga-
zine ads used in student recruiting
for the university.
Davis said he knew Kiser when
Kiser worked as a janitor for
Highland Church of Christ in 1972.
Davis said he came back to Abilene
to find Earl in the Coronado Nurs-
ingHome. Davis said he had the idea for the
poster focusing on a positive ap-
proach to the elderly in the back
ofhltmindforayear.
Davis said he approached Kiser
with the idea of the poster and
Kiser accepted the offer to pose for
the photograph.

The poster has a meaningful
message Davis said.
"I think it is a positive statement
