<p><span>It s a pleasure to be with you today to talk about a subject that I experience directly—women s labor force participation.</span><span> I come to this issue with a similar perspective to this Commission, being from a heavily rural state and a small farming and ranching community deep in the Flint Hills of Kansas. But I also have roots here in Arkansas, my husband s family is from Hardy, and my father s mother was from Little Rock. It s really nice to be back in an area where I spent a lot of time growing up.</span></p>

PUEBLO COUNTY â An Avondale woman spent her savings to build an ADA accessible bedroom and bathroom for her disabled husband.
After writing the check, the contractor hired to do the work started the job and then disappeared.
Wendy Dunn paid more than $37,000 up front for a two-story addition to her home back in August 2020.

As the world steadily moves back to a new normal Carlisle’s Rocket Theatre Group has certainly been more than ready to welcome back it’s students. The Group, which was established in 2016, has continued to deliver their sessions via an online platform during the lockdown but this was the week when they could finally open their studio doors again. The Rocket Studios are based on the top floor of the Atlas Works in Denton Holme and have seen changes over the last few months. Owners Jack and Wendy Dunn have reorganised the teaching spaces and social areas to enable them to social distance but still give their students the full Rocket experience of Singing, Dance and Drama classes. The sessions have continued online during lockdown to support the students learning and also to continue their social connections and enable them to keep in touch.
