SUMMARY: In North Mississippi, the Oxford Police Department is offering self-defense classes for women to enhance their safety awareness. Lieutenant Joe Bishop and Officer McKenzie Rogers emphasize the importance of understanding one’s surroundings, particularly in a smartphone-distracted world. The self-defense program, called “The Equalizer,” covers various defensive techniques, including defenses against common attack methods identified by FBI statistics. The classes, which are free and last about an hour, are typically held on Tuesdays and do not require advance registration. Participants can learn more through the police department’s social media channels or by contacting them directly.

SUMMARY: The Rotary Club of Tupelo is a civic organization focused on community support and raising funds to eradicate polio. Their initiative, the Purple Pinky Project, started in 2017 by partnering with Dunkin Donuts and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, raising over $7 million for polio eradication. The club encourages both members and the community to order $25 boxes of donuts, which generate $375 each for the Polio Foundation through matching contributions. They aim to collect 120 boxes locally, part of a larger goal of $1.5 million across participating clubs. Orders are due by Friday, and the club seeks to raise 50 more boxes.
