&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-autospace: ;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: calibri; color: #000000;"&gt;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&amp;rsquo;s include a color photograph; fingerprints; important information such as: height, weight, and date of birth; a medical profile; the &amp;ldquo;Seven Rules for Safety;&amp;rdquo; and a 24-hour NCMEC hotline number. Each participant will also have the opportunity to visit with Shoney Bear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-autospace: ;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: calibri; color: #000000;"&gt;Over the past 22 years, the program has successfully provided more than 40,000 children with IDs.

&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-autospace: ;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: calibri,sans-serif;"&gt;All parents should have a close-up, head &amp;amp; shoulders photo of each of their children. Unfortunately, parents think they have good photos of their children on their &amp;ldquo;smart phone&amp;rdquo; however, that is an unrealistic sense of security. Most photos on mobile phones include other &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-autospace: ;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: #000000;"&gt;people, are not close enough and often are not a high enough quality to identify eye color, hair color and specific facial features. KPD urges parents to make time to bring their children to the free events to create good quality photos and to have your child fingerprinted. This is especially important for middle school-aged students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-autospace: ;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;"&gt;The 2017 Shoney&amp;rsquo;s KidCare Photo ID event dates are 3 days only: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;What is a Pow Wow? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;A powwow is many things. It's a time of celebration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;It's Indian singing. It's Indian dancing. It's Indian &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;food. It's a homecoming, a gathering of friends and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;families. But it's so much more....It's a feeling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;Powwows are centuries-old traditions for many American &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;Indian nations. Many of the customs for today's powwows &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;came from the nomadic tribes of the Great Plains. The buffalo &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;was central to the Plains Indians' way of life. It was a source of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;food, clothing, covering for lodges (tipis) and many other items &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;used in their day-to-day life. As the buffalo migrated the plains, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;Indians followed. During the winter months, traveling and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;hunting became very difficult, forcing the tribes to split up into &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;small bands related by family or clan ties. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As summer arrived, the bands would rejoin, coming together &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;for buffalo hunts, the major ceremonies of the tribe, and for the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;powwows. These summer gatherings would bring together all &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;the members of each tribe. This was a time for the sharing of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;stories about the great hunting feats and raiding parties, and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;a time for the telling of visions and the singing of songs that held &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;many powers and spoke of the deeds of fallen brothers and of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;ancestors gone many years. The powwows in the old days were &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;powwows held on American military bases in Iraq. A sense of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;"Pan-Indianism" has developed; the clothing and much of the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;regalia that were once common only to the Plains Indians, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: century gothic,sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"&gt;have been adopted in part or in whole by many American &lt;br /&gt;

PARROTT-WOOD MEMORIAL LIBRARY has joined more than 1,000 libraries across the country to participate in the celestial event of the century, the August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse. During this national event, the shadow of the moon will sweep across the United States in a narrow band from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in a spectacle that hasn't occurred in decades. In fact, the last total solar eclipse for the United States was nearly 40 years ago. The rest of the U.S. and North America will see a partial eclipse, with the Moon covering up only part of the Sun. It is aptly named the Great American Eclipse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will be a great opportunity for our community to celebrate science, with fun, hands-on and multimedia activities, culminating in the eclipse event on August 21, 2017. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PARROTT-WOOD MEMORIAL LIBRARY will offer a range of public programs to bring the excitement of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to children, teens and adults. Great American Eclipse at Parrott-Wood Memorial Library. For a full schedule of event, visit www.jcpls.org click on Parrott-Wood location to view our event page or contact 865-933-1311, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:dphillips@jcpls.org"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: ms sans serif;"&gt;dphillips@jcpls.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: ms sans serif;"&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are proud that PARROTT-WOOD MEMORIAL will participate in this national program,&amp;rdquo; said Donna Phillips, Director. &amp;ldquo;We have partnered with Friends of the Parrott-Wood Memorial Library to help our community prepare for this amazing astronomy event. We think people of all ages and backgrounds will find the solar eclipse to be an experience they will remember the rest of their lives.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PARROTT-WOOD MEMORIAL LIBRARY is located at 3133 W. OLD ANDREW JOHNSON HIGHWAY, STRAWBERRY PLAINS, TN 37871. These solar eclipse programs are for the young and very old. Please join us for our pre-solar eclipse programs on August 7th &amp;amp; 14th at 4:30. The public is invited to join us on August 21st at 1:30 pm. We will be having a Great American Eclipse Party. The first 200 people will receive a free pair of Solar Eclipse glasses for safe viewing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parrott-Wood Memorial Library has joined the STAR Library Education Network (STAR_Net) and its NASA@ My Library initiative, which are providing resources and STEM activities to libraries across the nation related to the eclipse. Partners include NASA, the American Library Association, and many other organizations. This project was made possible through support from the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Google, and the National Science Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;

YOU ARE INVITED.... SO SAVE THE DATE!!!!! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the United Way of Jefferson County hosts a Campaign Kickoff Event as a way to ignite the &lt;br /&gt;
campaign and bring our community together. Last year, we had our second very successful Parade of Tables offering a lot of fun for those that participated! So, we will be hosting our Third Annual United Way Parade of Tables on Tuesday, August 22nd. This is an exciting OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION and SUPPORT the United Way of Jefferson County. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is how it works: The United Way will advertise and promote the event, provide light hors d&amp;rsquo;oeurves &lt;br /&gt;
and beverages, bring in a guest speaker and organize a silent auction. YOU have the opportunity to host &lt;br /&gt;
an 8-person table by decorating it in any way you like. For example, last year Franklin Realty&amp;rsquo;s two tables had potted succulents, soft green floral center pieces and decorative chalkboards with their name. Don&amp;rsquo;t own a business? No problem! You can gather a group of friends and have fun creating your own unique design! Either way, this event is a great way to support the United Way and the 23 agencies it supports. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 60&amp;rdquo; round table with a white table cloth will be provided. You are to provide the centerpiece for the &lt;br /&gt;
table. Your table will also need to be set for 8 guests including dinnerware, silverware, glasses and napkins. Tables can be any theme that you want: holidays, seasonal, wedding, travel or your dream table. Remember, this is a great opportunity to promote your business and show off your talent! THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY &lt;br /&gt;
TO WIN A PRIZE FOR THE CROWD FAVORITE! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sponsorship of a table is $160.00 ($80.00 will be tax deductible). Sponsors are asked to fill their table with eight guests. Registration and sponsorship payment is due by Friday, August 4th. Optional: You may include your table centerpiece and accessories in the silent auction to benefit United Way of Jefferson County. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Parade of Tables will be on Tuesday, August 22nd at Jefferson City Christian Church at 5:00 p.m. As &lt;br /&gt;
noted, our speaker for the event will be Carolyn Peck, Associate Coach for Vanderbilt&amp;rsquo;s Women&amp;rsquo;s Basketball Team and former ESPN Analyst. Carolyn is from Jefferson City and was a Parade All-American at Jefferson County High School. She is a member of the Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame as well as the Tennessee Hall &lt;br /&gt;
of Fame. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: ms sans serif;"&gt;Orientation and Welcome Week Opportunities for Local &lt;br /&gt;
Businesses and Employers &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be two opportunities offered once again for local &lt;br /&gt;
businesses and employers to come to campus at the start of &lt;br /&gt;
the academic year to meet and connect with our students &lt;br /&gt;
for the purposes of selling goods, employee recruitment, and &lt;br /&gt;
advertising services. As you are probably aware, we have a &lt;br /&gt;
zero-solicitation policy in place at Carson-Newman. However, &lt;br /&gt;
these events will be the exceptions to that policy. Consequently, &lt;br /&gt;
this will be a rare opportunity for businesses to come to campus &lt;br /&gt;
and freely introduce themselves and their services to our students. &lt;br /&gt;
We only require that personal information beyond the names and &lt;br /&gt;
emails of our students not be collected for any purpose that could &lt;br /&gt;
be understood as coercive in nature or intent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place during Orientation for parents and new students. &lt;br /&gt;
It will be held outside on the student plaza between Blye-Poteat and Ted &lt;br /&gt;
Russell Halls. A table and two chairs will be provided to participating &lt;br /&gt;
businesses. If a tent is desired, the interested business will need to provide its &lt;br /&gt;
own. This location does not allow for access to electricity. Space for the event is &lt;br /&gt;
limited to 10 tables. Setup is at 9:15 a.m. Take-down will immediately follow &lt;br /&gt;
at 3:00 p.m. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event will primarily cater to the parents of our new students. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Niswonger Performing Arts Center&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;GREENEVILLE, Tenn.&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; With dashing good looks, a guitar and a southern style, Easton Corbin is bringing a little bit of country to Greeneville to kick off the 2017-2018 season at NPAC. The country singer from Florida will be performing Saturday, August 26th at 7:30 PM at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
When Easton Corbin first broke into the country music scene in 2009, he did so with a bang by releasing two No. 1 singles -- &amp;ldquo;A Little More Country than That&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;Roll with It.&amp;rdquo; With those two hit singles, he became the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two consecutive singles reach No. 1. After that, the world took notice. Corbin&amp;rsquo;s track record now includes three American Country Awards, the title of Billboard&amp;rsquo;s Top New Country Artist of 2010 and performances with some of the biggest names in country music. He is lauded for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. American Songwriter says, "Easton Corbin has one of those rare, glorious voices that was made &amp;ndash; just made &amp;ndash; for singing country music.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Corbin&amp;rsquo;s last album About To Get Real was a No. 1 selling album that included his emotional &amp;ldquo;Are You With Me&amp;rdquo; and his Top 5 hit &amp;ldquo;Baby Be My Love Song&amp;rdquo; and was the followup to his first two successful albums which included his now signature No. 1 hits as well as the Top 5 hits &amp;ldquo;Lovin&amp;rsquo; You Is Fun&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;All Over The Road.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Corbin performed before sold out crowds in 2016 on Carrie Underwood&amp;rsquo;s The Storyteller Tour and released his fourth album this year with &amp;ldquo;A Girl Like You,&amp;rdquo; his new single with a mix of romance, twang and drum-machined beats.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Easton Corbin performs at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center (NPAC) in historic downtown Greeneville, TN on Saturday, August 26th at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $50 for orchestra level seating, $45 for mezzanine seating and $40 for balcony seats.
