Happy May!  It seems spring is finally here (yay!) and we are quickly approaching race day...

 

I ask you to join me yet again in the effort to raise funds for Connecting for Children & Families’ Make Tracks for Kids 5K which, due to the pandemic, is being held virtually this year.

 

Connecting for Children and Families (CCF) is a community-based, non-profit organization with a mission to transform the lives of Woonsocket children through high quality educational opportunities and family support. We envision Woonsocket as a city where every child gets the best start in life and grows into his or her full potential.

 

In these uncertain times, CCF needs your support more than ever.  Help us continue to provide vital programming for the children and families in the community so they can continue to thrive.

 

100% of the funds raised from this event benefit our award-winning programs. Whether it is providing after-school academic enrichment programs, including homework help for children grades K-12, or helping an unemployed mother find work, together we are helping people improve their lives by lending a helping hand in their time of need.  That is why your support is so important!

 

Please donate... any amount is greatly appreciated.

An Arizona grand jury is indicting the 11 "fake electors" who were backing then-President Trump in 2020. A month after the election, the 11 people got together at the state's GOP headquarters to sign a certificate claiming to be Arizona's 11 electors to the Electoral College, although Biden had won by thousands of votes. His electors were also certified by state officials.        The Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday on Donald Trump's claim he has absolute immunity on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election. The outcome could determine whether Trump faces a federal trial this year on four felony counts brought by special counsel Jack Smith, which include conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruction of an official proceeding. Trump's legal team argues the former president should have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for any official acts taken while in office.        House Speaker Mike Johnson is demanding the president of Columbia University resign unless she reigns in anti-semitic protests. Speaking on the campus steps of the New York school with other GOP lawmakers, Johnson said no Jewish student should have to live in fear. His comments come as pro-Palestinian protests continue against Israel's war with Hamas.        The Biden Administration says it aims to cut freight emissions in the U.S. to zero. On Wednesday, officials laid out their goal to cut down harmful emissions from freight shipping. The White House says they hope to reach net-zero emissions in the transportation sector, and the entire U.S. economy, by 2050.        A new report can tell you if you're still earning enough to be considered middle class. Finance site SmartAsset analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Pew Research Center to determine the middle class salary range in all 50 states. The national middle class salary range is 49-thousand-271-dollars to 147-thousand-828-dollars.        The MTV Video Music Awards are returning to New York. For the first time since 2021, the show will be back in New York and this time it will take place on Long Island at the UBS Arena in Elmont. It's the first for the arena and the show is set for September 10th. UBS Arena is the sixth New York arena to host the awards show.
