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.

March 28, 2013 The Liberty Center Association for the Arts is currently accepting nominations for the STAR Award. To nominate someone for the award, you should obtain as much detailed information about your nominee’s arts accomplishments as possible. The more details, the more likely the committee is to consider your person since they may not be familiar with everything your candidate has done.
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.

One of my favorite events for one of my favorite causes is going on Saturday It's the adult Easter Egg Hunt benefiting the Child Safe Organization. Child Safe is a organization that helps children who have been physically and or sexually abused. It's a safe place where kids who have been abused can talk to a professional about what has happened to them in a safe environment. It is videotaped and sent to prosecutors and law enforcement so the kids only have to tell their story one time. It's a great organization and this is their biggest fundraiser.

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?
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.
