Grundy County Rotary’s Community Baby Shower returns for the third year. The public effort strives to ensure that the newest members of our community have what they need in their first year of life. Items will be collected and given away free of charge during the event, which is slated for Saturday, June 6, from 12-2 p.m.

Myers Hill FCM is excited to invite the community to two special events occurring next week that are designed to bring families together for fun, fellowship and faith.

That extra refrigerator in the garage or basement may seem convenient, especially during summer gatherings and family events, but it can add more to your electric bill than you might realize.

Before you head out on vacation this summer, take a few minutes to give your home an energy-saving “vacation,” too.
