In memory and honor of SPC Brandon Scott Mullins, who was killed in August last year and in honor of all of our veterans, the Mullins family is hosting a new, community wide event called "A Kentucky Hometown Veterans Day Celebration"  to be held this Sunday at 6pm at Good Shepherd Church.

Here’s the information from the family:

First Baptist Church Owensboro, as encouraged by Kentucky AmeriCorps, will be participating in the Build-a-Bed Mission Project. In March of 2009, a Kentucky AmeriCorps program, SUCCESS Corps, began asking local Family Resource and Youth Service Center coordinators about community needs. One of the overwhelming responses they heard repeated time and time again was a desperate need for beds.

College View Middle School is teaming up with the American Cancer Society to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

CVMS is hosting its last home football game of the season on Thursday, Oct. 4, as the Vikings host Owensboro Middle School. The seventh-grade game begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by the eighth-grade game at approximately 6 p.m.

The American Cancer Society will have a booth at the game to share important information about cancer and resources for help. Between games and at half-time, special performances are scheduled by faculty, staff, cheerleaders and the Vikettes dance team. The Glee Club will sing the National Anthem to start the evening celebrating survivors and their families. Football players will also wear pink socks during the game.
