MEMBER: Shoney's FREE KidCare Photo ID Event 8/6/2016 8:00 AM - 8/8/2016 9:00 PM

Mon, 11 Jul 2016 12:51:50 GMT

Shoney’s® Restaurants Offering FREE KidCare Photo ID Events in August

Knoxville, Tenn. – Now in its 22nd year, Shoney’s KidCare Photo ID events will take place in the Greater Knoxville area for two days only, August 6 & 8, 2016, in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The events provide FREE KidCare Photo IDs for children, which enable parents to have information readily available for authorities in the event their child is ever reported missing. The ID’s include a color photograph; fingerprints; important information such as: height, weight, and date of birth; a medical profile; the "Seven Rules for Safety;" and a 24-hour NCMEC hotline number. Each participant will also have the opportunity to visit with Shoney Bear.

Over the past 21 years, the program has successfully provided more than 39,000 children with IDs. Community Partners are the Knoxville Police Department & Safety City, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett & Knox County, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, The Knoxville News-Sentinel, Walgreens, Star 102.1, Local8Now (WVLT), and The Optimist Club of Knoxville.

All parents should have a close-up, head & shoulders photo of each of their children. Unfortunately, parents think they have good photos of their children on their "smart phone" however, that is an unrealistic sense of security. Most photos on mobile phones include other people, are not close enough and often are not a high enough quality to identify eye color, teeth, hair color and specific facial features. The Knoxville Police Department urges parents to make time to bring their children to these free events to create good quality photos and to have your child fingerprinted.

The 2016 Shoney’s KidCare Photo ID event dates are two days only:

SATURDAY, August 6, 2016 at Foothills Mall, 197 Foothills Mall, Maryville, TN 37801 from 11:00am – 5:00pm. In the Center Stage area.

MONDAY, August 8, 2016 at Knoxville Expo Center, 5441 Clinton Highway, Knoxville, TN 37912 from 3:00-6:00pm at Mayor Tim Burchett’s Back to School Bash.

What is a PowWow?

A powwow is many things. It's a time of celebration. It's Indian singing. It's Indian dancing. It's Indian
food. It's a homecoming, a gathering of friends and families. But it's so much more....It's a feeling.

Powwows are centuries-old traditions for many American Indian nations. Many of the customs for today's powwows came from the nomadic tribes of the Great Plains. The buffalo was central to the Plains Indians' way of life. It was a source of food, clothing, covering for lodges (tipis) and many other items used in their day-to-day life. As the buffalo migrated the plains, Indians followed. During the winter months, traveling and hunting became very difficult, forcing the tribes to split up into small bands related by family or clan ties.

As summer arrived, the bands would rejoin, coming together for buffalo hunts, the major ceremonies of the tribe, and for the powwows. These summer gatherings would bring together all the members of each tribe. This was a time for the sharing of stories about the great hunting feats and raiding parties, and a time for the telling of visions and the singing of songs that held many powers and spoke of the deeds of fallen brothers and of ancestors gone many years. The powwows in the old days were a time of music, songs, and dancing.

Today the spirit of the old powwows lives on. In modern times the powwow has spread to most American Indian groups in the lower 48 states and southern Canada. There have even been powwows held on American military bases in Iraq. A sense of "Pan-Indianism" has developed; the clothing and much of the regalia that were once common only to the Plains Indians, have been adopted in part or in whole by many American Indians. Indian creek Productions, Inc. welcomes you to our powwow. We know that you will feel the spirit of the old time powwows while you are here and maybe have enough left over to take home with you.

This incredible festival celebrating dance will feature:

> Dance Competitions (for both men and women in all styles)
> Specialty Dances
> Indian Frybread
> Drumming
> Music
> Storytelling
> Craft Vendors
> Silent Auction
> Hand Drum Contest
> Children's Area
> Special Demonstrations and Workshops

MEMBER: Jefferson Rural Clinic Fundraiser Dinner & Program 8/26/2016 6:30 PM - 8/26/2016 8:30 PM

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 13:27:07 GMT

Jefferson Rural Clinic Hosting Fundraiser & Benefit

Hosted By:

SCOPE OF THE EVENT: As many of us bask in the sun, enjoy barbeques and family time at the beach, a need in our community continues like a dark shadow: that of much-needed healthcare for very low-income members of our community.

As most of us know, the Jefferson Rural Clinic volunteers have provided free medical, dental and optometry services to over 5,000 low-income patients. Although this is quite a wonderful boost to our region’s level of wellness, they are not able to meet anywhere near the realm of needs. Funding constraints continue to be a reality. In spite of fabulous donated volunteer services by medical practitioners, dentists, optometrists, nurses, assistants, dietitians, office support and cherished cleaners, there are areas in which services are still needed.

To that end, the Jefferson Rural Clinic has announced that they will be hosting their first fundraiser dinner since 2011. The event will be held on Friday, August 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Highway 92.

The clinic is seeking willing donors to host a total of 36 tables at the event. There is no charge for the table, however, donations from guests would be very much appreciated.

The will also offer a silent auction that will feature gifts and gift certificates from some Jefferson Counties most popular restaurants and businesses.

For information regarding this event, please contact the clinic at (865) 471-5525 or email to 2016dinner@jrclinic.org.

You can also visit them on Facebook by going to www.facebook.com/JeffersonRuralClinic.
