Welcome to The Arc NWMS!
Help Us Purchase a New Sewing Machine for Dorothy!!!
We have raised $700.00 so far!
Help us reach our goal!
We need $800.00 more!
Ms. Dorothy Bundy is the leader of this valuable project. She reads and answers all email requests, monitors and purchases supplies, accepts donations and launders all fabric at her own home, sews the vast majority of the blankets, lap pads, and fidgets, delivers finished blankets for pick up, notifies recipients to let them know that their blanket is ready, and keeps the entire project organized and working like a well-oiled machine. Of course, the most important bit of information about Ms. Dorothy is that SHE IS A VOLUNTEER! Yes, Ms. Dorothy does all of this work out of the kindness of her heart.
Sadly, Ms. Dorothy's sewing machine died last week! She quickly went out and purchased a used sewing machine so she could continue sewing. We would LOVE to collect $1,500.00 in donations to purchase a brand new sewing machine for Ms. Dorothy. If everyone receiving this email could donate $10.00, we would have more than enough to purchase a fabulous new sewing machine.
Please go to www.thearcnwms.org and click the DONATE button. Write "Sewing Machine for Ms. Dorothy" in the special message line. You could also donate by sending a check made out to "The Arc NWMS" to 6515 Goodman Road #281, Olive Branch, MS 38654 or bringing your donation to our office, 5847 Goodman Road #B-3, Southaven, MS 38672.
Help us show Ms. Dorothy how much we appreciate her efforts for individuals with sensory sensitivities. All donations are tax deductible. DONATE TODAY!

Scent Evidence K9
Human Scent Preservation Kit
Using a scent pad that has been correctly preserved within a sealed sterile jar reduces the start time of the K9 team. When other articles, such as clothing, are used to collect the person's scent , it may be necessary to dismiss the scent of other people (e.g., other members of the household, law enforcement personnel, healthcare providers, etc.) whose scent may have contaminated these articles.
Having a scent pad that has been correctly preserved within a sealed sterile jar increases law enforcement and search personnel awareness of human scent discriminate K9 teams. Properly trained human scent discriminate K9 teams are capable of trailing in high traffic areas, on multiple types of surfaces, with trails that are over 24 hours old and vehicle trails.
*Each kit comes with a jar, lid, sterile gauze pad, tamper proof tape, label and instruction booklet.
To get your own Human Scent Preservation Kit contact Director William Nichols with the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department at (901) 282-7473 or email him at wnichols@desotocountyms.gov.
