By NOREEN HYSLOP, Managing Editor
There are likely as many methods of making a positive difference within our community as there are
residents, and the Regional Healthcare Foundation, with cash prizes in the balance, is challenging both
youngsters and adults locally to implement some of those ideas during the month of October, which
has been designated as Make a Difference Month nationally.
Modeled after the national effort, the month will be devoted to a celebration of neighbors helping
neighbors, according the Regional Foundation's director, Diane Mitchell, who is spearheading the
challenge. To read the full story click here:

Turtles needed for Saturday event at East Park
Friday, September 19, 2008
From staff reports
Supplies are needed for Saturday morning's Fun Fest, a free event for children birth to fifth grade,
slated to take place from 11-1 at East City Park. The event, sponsored the Regional Healthcare
Foundation, has plenty of hot dogs, sodas, water and snacks for everyone, but there is one thing they
need...TURTLES!
A turtle race is slated to take place for the children in attendance toward the end of the Fun Fest, and
traditionally, there are more children than there are turtles who wish to participate. And so, coordinators
of the event are requesting yard turtles, if any residents have one or more, to be donated for use at the
festival on Saturday morning.
The turtles may be delivered to East City Park during the early festivities after 11 a.m., but preferably
before noon.
Regional Healthcare Director Diane Mitchell says that any donated turtles (unpainted, please) will be
placed in a proper environment following the event and if those donating the use of their turtles would
like them returned, that wish will be accommodated as well.
