<p>The Office of Jefferson County Judge was awarded $45,000 from the Facilities for Underdeveloped Neighborhoods (FUN Park) Grant Program administered by the Arkansas Department of Parks &amp; Tourism and the Outdoor Recreation Grants Program.

Judge Holcomb partnered with the volunteer fire departments of the JCMAA and OEM to increase public awareness of fire safety through a smoke alarm campaign. The project consists of door-to-door distribution of smoke alarms as well as home safety inspections conducted by the volunteer fire fighters. $25,000 has gone directly to the departments to compensate their volunteers for their time and mileage expenses.</p>
<p>Fire Extinguisher Sales &amp; Services will have &#8220;live fire&#8221; fire extinguisher safety demonstrations. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors will be given to attendees (as long as supplies last).</p>

No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0209-tnugent_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show" title="Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show" class="alignright" align="right" />HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 9, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; On Saturday, February 11, 2012, American Sporting Legend and rock star Ted Nugent will appear at the Eastern Sports &amp; Outdoor Show (February 4-12, State Farm Show Complex, Harrisburg, PA) to sign autographs and greet guests.</p>
<p>Ted will appear first from 11 a.m. to Noon at the Outdoor Channel Booth #8320 in the Outfitters and Guides Hall (Main Hall) and then again from 1 &#8211; 3 p.m. in the Second Floor Cameron Street Lobby of the State Farm Show Complex.</p>
<p>An advocate of hunting and gun-ownership rights, Nugent currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association (NRA). He has hosted the Ted Nugent Kamp for Kids, which combines a curriculum of hands-on hunting, conservation, archery and a strong anti-drug message aimed mainly at underprivileged inner-city children. Nugent also is a spokesman for the National Field Archery Association, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. He is a national spokesman for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, advocating the &#8220;natural highs&#8221; to be found in an outdoor lifestyle.</p>
<p>&#8220;The future of the shooting sports in this country is in the hands of tomorrow&#8217;s outdoorsmen and women. The youth of America must be educated to the wholesome and valued world of hunting and conservation. Because rock &#8216;n roll plays such a pivotal role in a young person&#8217;s life, I will share my wonderful experiences with them,&#8221; said Nugent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-1208-girlsinc_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas" title="Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas" class="alignright" align="right" />DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 4, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; <a href="http://www.girlsincdallas.org/">Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas</a> will hold its third lecture, &#8220;What is a Girly-Girl?,&#8221; in its 2011-2012 series on Wednesday, February 1, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. in partnership with The Dallas Institute for Humanities and Culture. </p>
<p>Author Peggy Orenstein will discuss today&#8217;s &#8220;girly-girl&#8221; culture that influences them from infancy onward: from princesses with pink gowns to spa birthday parties for six-year-olds, to Miley Cyrus to how thirteen-year-olds present themselves on Facebook, it tells a girl that how she looks matters more than who she is. </p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing a &#8216;Kardashianization&#8217; of girlhood,&#8221; says Orenstein, whose examination of the lives of young women began in 1994 with her classic book &#8220;Schoolgirls.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s a worrisome trend for those who want daughters to thrive and become confident, happy women. Formerly neutral toys have become gendered, narrowing a girl&#8217;s idea about her sexuality, future relationships and academic and professional potential. Girls are being encouraged to embrace this materialistic, image-saturated femininity through an unprecedented amount of marketing targeted at ever-younger ages.&#8221; </p>
<p>Writer and speaker Peggy Orenstein is author of &#8220;Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture&#8221; and other books. She is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and many other publications. </p>
<p>This lecture is the third in the series, &#8220;What is a Girl?,&#8221; which takes a critical look at how girls have been envisioned from ancient mythology to today&#8217;s popular culture and tomorrow&#8217;s leadership in science and technology. </p>
<p>&#8220;We could not have picked a better partner than The Dallas Institute for Humanities and Culture,&#8221; says Girls Inc. CEO Lori Palmer. &#8220;The theme, &#8216;What is a girl?&#8217; has proven to be as complex and provocative a subject as it is a captivating one.&#8221; </p>
<p>As with all the lectures in this series, Orenstein will present and then lead a discussion with audience members after a reception with wine, cheese, fruit and coffee at 6:00 p.m. The lecture takes place on Wednesday, February 1, at 6:30 p.m. at The Dallas Institute for Humanities and Culture located at 2719 Routh Street, Dallas. Admission is $25. </p>
<p>Register online for &#8220;What Is a Girly-Girl?&#8221; at <a href="http://girlsincdallas.org/LectureSeries">GirlsIncDallas.org/LectureSeries</a> or by contacting Lisa Rossi at lrossi@girlsincdallas.org or 214.654.4553. Seating is limited to 100. Sponsors include the Dallas Business Journal, WRR Classical 101, Kroger, Rosewood Hotels &amp; Resorts of Dallas and Texas Instruments. </p>
<p>The remaining lecture events are as follows:</p>
<p>Wednesday, April 4, 2012, &#8220;What is a STEM Girl? Girls in Science, Engineering, Math and Technology.&#8221;</p>
<p>The concluding lecture of the series will consider the feminine role in scientific and theoretical fields, most if not all of which have traditionally been associated with men. How did such a tradition develop? In what ways is it changing? And what does the future hold for girls who are drawn to these professions? </p>

ROC the Day will be the first of its kind in the greater Rochester area and all of New York State. On this day, thousands of community members can help support Children Awaiting Parents through 24 hours of online, unprecedented giving.</p>
<p>Donations can be made on December 8 from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. by visiting <a href="http://www.roctheday.org/agency/ChildrenAwaitingParents" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.roctheday.org/agency/ChildrenAwaitingParents" target="_blank">http://www.roctheday.org/agency/ChildrenAwaitingParents</a> .</p>
<p>Every hour throughout ROC the Day, one ROCstar donor will be chosen to receive an additional $500 added to their gift for the not-for-profit of their choice. Community members can enter their email address at <a href="http://ROCtheDay.org" class="autohyperlink" title="http://ROCtheDay.org" target="_blank">ROCtheDay.org</a> to sign up for a reminder to give and become a ROCstar on December 8.</p>
<p>Children Awaiting Parents is also asking supporters to submit a photo of themselves when they were 8, the average age of a child in care looking for their forever family.

<p>Communities across the United States have hosted similar one-day online giving events in the past several years, many of which achieved millions of dollars raised for local not-for-profits. Dave Fiedler, 2012 United Way Board Chair and President and CEO of sponsor ESL Federal Credit Union, said that the goals of this event are to raise money for all local nonprofits and help community members make a difference in a simple way. &#8220;The end-of-year holiday season can be very busy,&#8221; Fiedler said, &#8220;but it&#8217;s a time to give thanks for what we have in this community and remind ourselves that we can always do more to help others. Giving to ROC the Day is the perfect way to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>ROC the Day is powered by United Way of Greater Rochester with sponsorship support from ESL Federal Credit Union. Additional ROC the Day community partners include Ad Council of Rochester, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Genesee Valley Chapter, City of Rochester, Council of Agency Executives, County of Monroe, The Farash Foundation, Greater Rochester Health Foundation, The Jewish Federation, RocCity Coalition and Rochester Area Community Foundation. </p>
