Kroger Relay for life is currently holding their annual Cutie Pie contest. Bring in your birth to 3- year-old cutie’s favorite photo with name, age and parents’ phone number.

Shoppers can vote on their favorite cutie by depositing money in cups corresponding with the number of the cutie. Winners will be announced Feb. 15. Trophies will be awarded to the first place girl and the first place boy who receives the most money.

Hello once again, my friends. We made it through the holiday season, and now, we are looking forward to spring. The thoughts of warm weather and green grass are dancing in our heads.

This January will mark the 14th annual National Mentoring Month, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jefferson County and their satellite agency in Carroll County are participating in this campaign aimed at expanding quality mentoring opportunities to connect more of our community’s young people with caring adults through their School Based and Community Based programs.
