Welcome to the official, non-profit website created for the boys and girls of the former Bonny Oaks School in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Hi, I am Christine Haven, your Webmaster.  You can always find me at texasbonny@yahoo.com
It is the intention of this website to give the former children of the Bonny Oaks School and Vine Street Children's Home an avenue to help visit their past and hopefully renew old friendships.  No matter how or why we arrived at the homes, we were there as children, and share that common bond.

Please use your website for the outlet it was intended and enjoy it's pages.  

Please see Mr. Adamson's "Message to the Boys and Girls, and the Staff", and other staff's messages on the "Staff/Sponsors/Friends" page.

Web Developer Certificate

Here's the disclaimer:  This website was created in October 2000 as an individual effort of it's webmaster, Christine G. Haven, who is also a 1959-1966 alumnus of The Bonny Oaks School.  The site was created as an aid for reuniting the former "Boys and Girls of the Bonny Oaks School", living or deceased, and, in that purpose, is it's official website.  At this time, the website is not supported by anyone other than myself.  The website is chartered as a non-profit association for its continued service to the boys and girls but is not a 501 Nonprofit (donations cannot be used for tax purposes).
Harry Jackson, Alumnus, is conducting fundraising efforts to obtain funds to pay for the copying of the Bonny Oaks' photo albums located in the downtown library and for costs relating to the website, other than Internet Hosting Fees paid by the Webmaster.  Any monies contributed are maintained in Tennessee, deposited and dispersed solely by Harry Jackson for the Scrapbook photo albums or approved expenditures.  A yearly audit of contributions and expenses will be done.
The webmaster does not exercise any control over contributions.
If presumed this site is in conflict with any official status connected to the Bonny Oaks School, please notify the Webmaster immediately at  texasbonny@yahoo.com and every effort will be taken to resolve it.
Thank you,
Christine G. Haven, Webmaster
