Tomorrow, Saturday, May 12, the United States Postal Service will team up with its letter carriers to conduct the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive across the nation to collect food donations in order to provide assistance to the millions of Americans who are struggling with hunger each and every day.

The nation’s 210,000 letter carriers will collect food donations left at the mailboxes of generous Americans in more than 10,000 communities and deliver them to food banks and other hunger relief organizations.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, having collected more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2011, generous Americans donated 70.2 million pounds of food, which marked the eighth consecutive year that at least 70 million pounds were collected.

Helping Stamp Out Hunger is as easy as checking your mailbox.

Visitors from across the Southeast are invited to join the fun beginning on Saturday, May 5th as Water World celebrates its thirty-third spectacular season.  The gates will open at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.

The Dothan Police Department Animal Services Division will be hosting an event on May 19, 2012 at Eastgate Park. We invite you to attend “Bark in the Park”, which will benefit the Dothan Animal Shelter with all proceeds going directly to purchase much needed medications.

Bark in the Park will be a fun-filled day for the entire family with special activities for pets and their owners. Events include: live bands, a 5K run, a pet walk, car show, stump chunkin’, a low-cost rabies clinic, pet fashion show, vendors, food and drinks. The Dothan Police K-9’s will present exhibits throughout the day and we will have on-site dogs and cats for adoption.
