Getting kids off the couch
During the pandemic, screens became essential to life. Now, how do you get your children active again? Many new families have joined CYOâs track and field program this year, some with little to no experience with the sport. âPeople, I can sense, are really ready to be back together; and itâs a bonus if weâre getting together to watch our kids compete in sports,â said Isaac Forquer, chairman of the CYO Track and Field Commission.

Thanks to shoppers for a literal ton of support

I enjoyed a busy but great day May 1. It was made great by a variety of youth groups, Abilene’s four United Supermarket locations and their customers and employees.
If you went to one of those stores between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. that day, you were probably met by Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Girl Scout or Trail Life/American Heritage Girls members, offering you a flyer and encouraging you to pick up a couple of extra items for Food Bank of West Central Texas.
Boy, did you ever respond! Combined, the four locations brought in 2,649 pounds of food items. In addition, even though it wasn’t requested, customers donated $1,451 for the Food Bank to purchase additional needed items.
