NOTICES:

The Cass County Child Abuse Prevention Council And Healthy Cass County Coalition are making plans for another Family Fun Day at the Cass County Fair on Saturday, July 26 from noon-4pm. A variety of fun, family friendly activities are planned for all ages. If your community organization is interested in hosting a free youth activity booth, email hcc@casshealth.info or call 712-250-8170. Cass County Child Abuse Council and Healthy Cass County Coalition encourage families to spend time together at the fair while discovering simple activity ideas that can be enjoyed at home, in school and throughout the community. This event also serves as a reminder of the importance of community support- and how everyone plays a role in creating safe, healthy and nurturing environments for children in our community.

Exira Christian Church has been chosen as the Audubon County distribution site for the Healthy Kids Initiatives Pilot project. The program is designed to provide healthy, nutritious food items to kids age 4-18 who qualify for free or reduced price lunches at school during the months of June, July, and August.  Targeted families with qualifying students are in 1) Audubon County or 2) Attending Exira Elk Horn Kimballton school district from Shelby County. The food is being distributed on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Exira Christian Church. Families may access the food once per month per child.  Food has been provided for 60 children per month, and there is a desperate need to get the food to eligible families in June. Call Minister Glenn Meyers at 712-304-4915 with questions or for more information.

Mini BOW – Women, Water, and Wine.  This annual kayaking women’s event will be August 22 to 24. It is based out of Nishna Bend and Prairie Rose.  Registration is now open for those that have not attended in the past.  If you have attended in the past, please wait until July 12 to sign up.  Spend Friday evening kayaking at Prairie Rose.  Saturday, kayak the Nishnabotna River (if the water is too low, we will kayak at Prairie Rose). Visit a local woman on Saturday evening to learn about freeze drying.  Sunday morning, do forest therapy (forest bathing), a very relaxing activity.  On Friday and Saturday evenings, have a campfire and S’mores.  Ladies are invited to bring a bottle of wine (regular or non alcoholic) to share and sample with other attendees.  The fee is $150 and includes a tank top, all meals on Saturday, Sunday breakfast, snacks, any transportation fees for kayaking (if we can go down river), and for the forest therapy instructor.  You must be 21 years old to sign up.  Free tent camping is available by the nature center.  Register at:  – https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/sqxwa5u/lp/e372d297-8912-42ba-80ec-4bf72e26cd6a
