Bowl for Kids’ Sake – Return of the Jedi Architects

It is that time of year again, time to support Big Brothers Big Sisters by bowling for kids’ sake. This year the theme “Bowl Wars” has helped to name our team. We are Return of the Jedi Architects.

If you are interested in bowling sign up for a team and raise some money. Want to join our team let me know. Most important – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. you can donate HERE.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the signature for BBBS. Each year, Bowl for Kids’ Sake provides nearly 1/4 of the funds it takes to provide professionally-guided mentoring services free of charge to nearly 500 children and families in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. No bowling skills? No problem! Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a great way to have fun with friends, family, or co-workers while making an impact on our community.

On Saturday, March 16, 2019, hundreds of community members and businesses will come together to participate in Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2019. Together we hope to reach our goal of $112,000!

Because of you, more local children facing adversity will have the opportunity to benefit from the guidance of a caring adult mentor in 2019. Big Brothers Big Sisters will put the money raised to immediate use in our community to match more Littles with Bigs to help them rise above their challenges and stay on a positive path.

Hendricks to run for Harrisonburg City Council

I love that Harrisonburg is a diverse and welcoming city for all. I love living, raising my daughters, and running a business here. I am running for Harrisonburg City Council because I believe my skills and knowledge can help guide and direct this city into a more sustainable future. This can be done by addressing environmental concerns, affordable housing, the houseless population, and preservation of our existing historic buildings.  I believe we also need to pay close attention to and empower our locally-owned businesses and workforce. We need to be innovative in our planning for the future and challenge the “because that is the way we always do it” safe option that we trick ourselves into taking. With the right vision and determination Harrisonburg can be a model city for sustainability, business, and community.
