The Book of the Month for August
The Right Questions by Debbie Ford
New York Times number-one bestselling author Debbie Ford presents revolutionary questions that, when answered with complete honesty, change the way we see ourselves and make decisions - ultimately moving us toward the life we desire.

The realities of the life we live today are a result of the choices we made yesterday, three months ago and three years ago. But we don′t wind up $50,000 dollars in debt because of one extravagant purchase. Nor do we put on 30 unwanted pounds as a result of a couple of decadent meals. And our relationships certainly don′t fall apart overnight because of one decision. We are where we are because of repeated unconscious choices made day after day. If we want to understand why and how we created our present day reality, all we need to do is look at the choices we made in the past. Ford cuts right through our denial with the 10 questions that immediately reveal the true motivations behind our thoughts and actions. But more than that, by rigorously and honestly asking and answering these 10 vital questions, we regain control and have the power necessary to create the life we always wanted.

July and August Change for Change

Butte County Humane Society Spay and Neuter Programs and Chico Cat Coalition

Butte Humane Society’s Clinic not only promotes education to the public concerning animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering, but it also provides much-needed low-cost, high quality spay/neuter, preventative and wellness veterinary care, and vaccination services to our community.

The Chico Cat Coalition is a no-kill, non-profit volunteer-run shelter working to rescue, house, heal, love, and rehome adoptable cats in the greater Chico area. 
Each month, our Center selects a viable non-profit organization - usually within Chico - that we can support with our loose change. We encourage you to bring your spare change so that we may contribute tangible change along with our philosophy of changing one's thinking to change lives. Look for the big water jug in the foyer as you leave the Center. Thank you.
