Harrisonburg – Rockingham Free Clinic Mardi Gras Gala is Friday, February 24, 2017!!! More information to follow. Snow date is March 3, 2017.
22 veterans a day commit suicide. That is over 8,000 suicides a year and over 125,000 veteran suicides in the last 15 years. It truly has become an epidemic. Our warriors need our help and our best effort. The good news is that there is an organization helping our veterans and getting truly amazing results. K9s for Warriors rescues dogs from kill shelters and train them to be service dogs for veterans with PTSD. What is happening is truly a miracle and these veterans are getting their lives and families back.
The Harrisonburg Police Department and K9s for Warriors is teaming up to raise money for veterans struggling with PTSD. The big fundraising event is Saturday, July 23rd in Harrisonburg, VA. It will be an adventure race fundraiser along with a Music Concert. Veterans and military personnel are admitted free to the concert (The Hackens Boys), and are also provided with free food and cigars.
Please sign up to participate in the Adventure Race to help raise as much money as possible for veterans with PTSD. All proceeds go to K9s for Warriors.
As a part of our community-wide We Read to Succeed initiative, United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County will be hosting Summer Reading Parties throughout June and July in an effort to prevent summer learning loss.
These fun-filled events will be intermingled with summer school and free lunch offerings at each participating school. Students will play games, participate in story time, enjoy literacy-themed activities, learn how to use the Massanutten Regional Library access card online, and select free books to read at home during their summer vacation. Each of these gatherings collectively function to influence the larger goal of meeting the third-grade reading benchmark through increased school attendance, readiness, and summer learning opportunities.
During the summer months, many students have reduced exposure to the learning environment and spend less time reading at home. According to the National Summer Learning Association, all youth experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer months, which ultimately contributes to lower standardized testing scores and loss of critical knowledge. Summer reading parties will help keep young minds active in a casual, interactive environment.
