It was really good to talk with my Aunt Verna today!  I found out she's doing good down in rural Pope County with her Ray's chili, Spam, Vienna sausages, crackers and mustard.  Sounds legit to me!  She had a request for a Kenny Chesney song I had forgotten about, but I'm thinkin' "Rise Up", is gonna be our new theme song to get us through this mess we are all goin' through!

 

I tell ya' what, in my ongoing quest to Broadcast The Good, I feel like this "Rise Up" Remix thing might be a Friday tradition!  It's so good to hear everyone from Southern Illinois calling in to the #KiTC Morning Show, with a simple declaration... "We will rise above it"!  I believe that!  And, I know you do to!  If you called into the show this morning, be listening for your voice!  Next Friday, let's do it again!

Well, my Aunt Verna had an interesting thought for today's #KiTC Morning Show... a tie-breaking pay-per-view event!  I don't think that will happen.  And, I really don't want to think about either candidate showing up in a wrestling singlet.  I'll pay money NOT to see that!  But, she reassured us that hey, everything is gonna be alright!  Here's her phone call from today's #KiTC Morning Show!

It's our Campaign for Kindness!  Today, we send a salute to Val Hodges in Harrisburg.  Here's the letter we received about Val, and the work she's doing to keep school kids fed with nutritious food!

"Val Hodges runs Harrisburg's food program at our school district. She spends countless hours that no one even knows about getting things done behind the scenes for our food that goes out every week.

We send out 13,000 meals every week. Every bag has 5 breakfast items & 5 lunch items.

It's a team of us that do it every week. On Fridays, a team of 25 meet and fill the shelf-stable bags. On Mondays, another team goes to 9 sites to deliver. On the days in between, Val and the cooks work to get the fresh vegetables ready and the frozen items bagged up.

This is a picture of Val's facebook post today. The kitchen staff is getting thousands of veggies washed up and bagged for next Monday's distribution."

If you know someone who's doing something kind for others, let us know!  CLICK HERE and fill out the form at the bottom of the page!  Takes about 60 seconds!  Thank you, and let's continue to Broadcast the Good!
