SUMMARY: Sam's Club is making a significant impact for the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) by fundraising through the sale of rubber ducks. In collaboration with the Walmart Foundation, they have supported CMN hospitals for 37 years since the campaign began in 1987. Funds raised at Meridian Sam's Club are donated directly to Children's of Mississippi in Jackson. You can support by donating, adopting a duck for $5 at the Optical Department (no eyewear purchase necessary), or using umbrella stations for donations. The campaign, running from June 10th to July 11th, aids over 37,000 children daily across the country, providing essential financial support for their families.

SUMMARY: The Hinds County Board of Supervisors is debating the future of a former military entrance processing building in downtown Jackson, currently serving as a voting precinct. While some supervisors propose renaming it the Hinds County Administration Building and relocating the Election Commission there, election officials argue that such a move before an election would be logistically challenging. They believe a master plan is essential to avoid misusing funds during renovations. The building is in Bobby McGowan's District Five, and he feels that other supervisors are overstepping by interfering with the district's affairs. Positive feedback has been received, but concerns remain about the timing and planning.

SUMMARY: With the Fourth of July approaching, experts emphasize fireworks safety to prevent injuries. Dr. Derek Cen, a burn specialist at Baptist Memorial Hospital, sees numerous burn patients each year during this period. He and Dr. Coleman advise adults to supervise children closely around fireworks. Demonstrations showed the power and potential harm of fireworks, including incidents where individuals suffered severe injuries from holding mortar tubes. To minimize risks, Dr. Coleman recommends keeping a bucket of water nearby and wearing protective clothing. These precautions can significantly reduce the danger associated with fireworks celebrations.
