Fight Cancer with Spaghetti and the Relay for Life
April 1, 2013 Around this time of year a lot of groups are gearing up for the big Relay for Life Fundraiser. It's a great cause, and I'm sure all of us in some way or another have been touched by cancer.

Wash Your Car and Your Dog with AnimalFAIR
March 27, 2013 Kids, as you probably know, I'm a fan of animals. Well, I wouldn't ask them for their autograph or anything, since they don't speak English and lack the ability to write, but I do enjoy them quite a bit.
Any kind of show on Netflix or whatever about animals, it's bound to be watched at some point by me. Funny animals, animal documentaries, animal training shows, you name it. So I like to take some time out of my life to help out an animal when I can. That's why I've always adopted my pets from the Animal Shelter. I would hope you would do that, too! Well, AnimalFAIR is a group that runs a no-kill shelter here in our area. They're doing a fundraiser that seems like a lot of fun, that I wanted to tell you about.

Volunteer in Sedalia with the American Red Cross and Bothwell Auxiliary
March 19, 2013 Kids, if there's anything I've noticed about Sedalia, it's that people here care about their neighbors. And sometimes it can be something manifested in small ways - like helping shovel their walk, or checking on a neighbor, or donating to a local charity.
Well now, we've got another way that you can help and it doesn't cost anything but your time. If you’re interested in meeting new people and giving back to the community, Bothwell Regional Health Center has a place for you. Volunteer opportunities are open with the American Red Cross and the Bothwell Auxiliary.

Help Bothwell by Donating Blood in Sedalia
March 14, 2013 Kids, I'm the person who does a lot of the updates for our events and such on the website. So I try to keep things pretty current around here. I'll tell you one thing, though: while I do add all the charitable and fundraising events people organize around here, I am a sucker for a Blood Drive. I'll always make sure people know all about those.
Shriners Holding Annual Dave Kelley Dinner at the Shrine Club This Week
March 12, 2013 I know sometimes it can be a little strange trying to figure out just what there is to do around here. I sometimes see people on Facebook or other social media asking, "What are you guys doing tonight?" Well, I think sometimes people forget about all the good community get-togethers around here just because they're not looking for them.
So, I thought I'd share something I got in our Community Calendar submissions this week. The Shriners are having another great dinner this week. You know you always see the Shriners in parades and stuff? They're always helping out around town. So why not stop by and help them help others while you eat some tasty food?
On The Road With Doug: Visit the Johnson County Fire Auxiliary Spaghetti Dinner and Auction
March 8, 2013 Before I tell you about the Johnson County Fire Auxiliary Spaghetti dinner and auction, let me tell you that I grew up in the rural areas of Knob Noster in Country Acres, and at one point, we had lightening hit our house and it caused a fire. The Knob Noster Volunteer Department came out and made sure all was okay. Ever since that moment, I realized the importance of having a good fire department around. Whether it be city owned or volunteer, I appreciate our firefighters.
