This Saturday, June 15, take an evening stroll on the Arkansas State University campus while raising awareness about Chiari malformation and related disorders.

Chiari malformation is a brain defect that affects about 1 in 1,000 children.  The symptoms include headaches, dizziness, facial pain, muscle weakness, sleep disorders, and impaired coordination.

The 2013 Chiari and Syringomyelia Foundation’s unite@night Walk will be held from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday at the old track at Olympic Drive across from the Convocation Center on the ASU campus.

Summer is heating up and so is the fun at the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library.

In fact, the library is so busy they can’t keep all the fun inside.

During the months of June and July, the library will offer several off-site programs every Wednesday at the Parker Park Community Center, 1506 North Church St., and at the Mall at Turtle Creek, 3000 East Highland Dr.

Kids are invited to “Dig Into Reading” this summer with PaleoJoe. 

According to an email from Brandi Hodges, virtual library manager:

Shepherd’s Fold is hosting a food and supply drive with BancorpSouth.

You can drop off donations anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at both Paragould bank branches during the month of June.

The banks are located at 1833 Linwood Dr. and 4507 West Kingshighway.

Meanwhile, tickets are still available for The Fold’s Second Annual Banquet, which will be held Friday, July 26, at Eastside Baptist Church.  Tickets are $25 each and may be purchased from The Fold or at PostNet, 2503 West Kingshighway.
