Dyer Difference Award recognizes Children’s Home Society
Children’s Home Society received the May Dyer Difference Award in Polk County. One in four children in the Florida Foster Care System is working with a team member from CHS. As the oldest and largest statewide organization devoted to helping children and families, Children’s Home Society of Florida has been working with families since 1902. Approximately 100,000 children and families are assisted through CHS each year, including more than 2,600 in Polk, Highland, and Hardee counties. Each month, members of the Dyer family and Dyer Kia and Dyer Chevrolet team meet to review the applications submitted and select one non-profit organization to receive that month’s recognition and $3,000 award.

Robert Altman filming MASH (1970)
Of the major American directors who first found an audience in the 60s and early 70s, Robert Altman is undeniably one of the most idiosyncratic, influential and stubbornly independent. Aged 75 he shows no sign of selling out, let alone giving up making films: his work remains almost defiantly youthful.
