There is an anniversary event at West Ridge Mall on June 15, from 2 to 7 p.m. We would like to invite you to celebrate with us at this event since it is free and open to the public.

More than 25 years ago, West Ridge opened its doors to the public and Chick-fil-A is one of several businesses that have been with the mall since the beginning. At the event, there will be a chance to win free Chick-fil-A for a year and a silent auction. All proceeds benefit the Simon Youth Foundation.

Science on Tap. 400 Million Years on Six Legs: Evolution of the Insects

Jun 25, 2013 7:30pm

Free State Brewing Co. 636 Massachusetts St. Lawrence, KS 66044
Insects are the most ecologically and evolutionarily successful group of organisms, with more species than all other species of life combined. They are also a remarkably ancient group, with representatives going back to the earliest faunas to emerge from the oceans onto land. For this Science on Tap, Curator of entomology and professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Michael Engel, will discuss recent discoveries from the insect fossil record, and how the Age of Dinosaurs and Age of Mammals are both eclipsed by an overarching “Age of Insects”. Science on Tap is an informal Science Cafe event brought to you by the KU Natural History Museum and Free State Brewing Company.

Cargotec For The Boys 5k Walk/Run

May 18, 2013 7:00 a.m. Registration

Ottawa, KS
Ottawa, Kansas Truck Manufacturer
Set To Sponsor 5K Walk/Run
Benefitting Testicular Cancer Awareness

OTTAWA, KANSAS – April 12, 2013. With its cause-minded and community-spirited
Kalmar division spearheading the effort, Cargotec announces its sponsorship of the first
5K road race to benefit the International Testicular Cancer Foundation (ITCF).
The company’s manufacturing facility at 415 E. Dundee, here, will mark the start and finish
line for the Cargotec Annual 5K Run/Walk 2013, scheduled for 8 a.m., Saturday, May 18,
2013. Walkers and runners may register for the event online by going to
http://cargotec5k2013.com/. Information on sponsorships is also available through the
website.
Proceeds from the event will be used to expand ITCF’s efforts to increase public
awareness and understanding of testicular cancer, a leading cancer among males aged 15
to 35.
Those outreach efforts take shape under ITCF’s “Let’s Give the Boys a Hand” national
awareness campaign. It promotes routine self-examination as a way to head off a type of
cancer that’s highly curable if detected early.

The International Testicular Cancer Foundation was formed to improve the quality of life for patients, caregivers and families who are battling and surviving testicular cancer by being a support system through problem solving and sharing information about the disease from a social and medical perspective. This foundation is partnering with the medical community to share information and to formulate and implement strategies that will benefit those that have been diagnosed, or are helping someone that has been diagnosed, fight this battle.

Testicular Cancer is the number one form of cancer affecting men from the age of 15 to 35. But it is also the most curable form of cancer, particularly when detected in early stages. One way to detect TC early is through self-examination. This group of men are generally not aware of testicular cancer nor do not realize the need for self-examination.

The mission of the “Let’s Give the Boys a Hand” Awareness Campaign is to disseminate information about TC through the website www.theBoys.org. On the website is important information regarding testicular cancer and easy-to-understand instructions for monthly self-examinations. Through the use all forms of social media, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, “theBoys” are spreading the message about testicular cancer.

Twenty years ago no one was talking about breast cancer and the importance of self-examination. Then someone was smart enough to realize that if we would talk about it women would live that otherwise might have died. So we want to start talking about testicular cancer too. We need to start talking about it.

Registration forms for the walk/run can be found attached, in the break room, the front desk and the accounting department. Checks can be made payable to Cargotec For the Boys 5K Walk/Run. Online registration accepts credit and debit cards at www.cargotec5k2013.com . If you have any questions, would like more information or would like to volunteer, please contact me!

Thank you to everyone for supporting the ITCF and The Boys! With your registration and participation in this event, you truly are making a difference in the lives of many!

We hope to see you on May 18th!

May 10, 2013 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Washburn Tech, 5724 SW Huntoon Street, Topeka, KS 66604
Visit the 14th Annual Washburn Tech Car Show, BBQ and Fair on Friday, May 10, 2013 from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. There are five car show entry classes: Custom/low riders, antique cars and trucks, muscle cars, motorcycles, and special interest.

The public is also invited to participate in many of the popular contests held during the Car Show. Marvel at the entries in the five car show classes, try your skills in the Heavy Equipment Rodeo, enjoy the thrill of hot wheels races, laugh at the dunk tank experience, make faces in the photo booth, take your frustrations out at the car bash, appreciate the golf ball contest and video games, or exercise at the 3 on 3 basketball. Additionally, at 9:30 a.m. Washburn Tech Recycled Rides will donate a vehicle to an area individual or family in need.

There is no cost to be a spectator at the Car Show & BBQ. However, some events require purchase of 25-cent tickets for participation. Funds raised through tickets, car show entries, and the BBQ are considered a donation to the Washburn Tech Care Closet.

The Car Show & Fair is the institute’s largest annual fundraiser for the Washburn Tech Care Closet. The Care Closet provides short term financial assistance to eligible Washburn Tech students in need to help them complete their education. Sometimes a tank of gas or bus fare to get to class one week or help with a bag of groceries can make all the difference in helping a student complete their technical program so they can get a job in the field of their dreams.
