Taste of Madison
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT hopes you'll come to the Taste of Madison, presented by American Family Insurance! It's Labor Day weekend on the Capital Square and you can hear over 25 live musical performances on three free stages, plus try over 200 menu items from local restaurants for just a few dollars each.
The Taste of Madison is from Madison.com, Capital Brewery, Bud Light, D'Arrigo Wines and Pepsi.
Quilt Expo
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT knows that if you're a quilter, you'll take any opportunity to learn more about new trends and meet others who love it as much as you do! The Quilt Expo is September 9-11 at the Alliant Energy Center and it's presented by Wisconsin Public Television. From workshops with new sewing machines and design methods to lectures with new ideas and helpful tips, the Expo is a way for quilters to be surrounded by their passion for a whole weekend!
NAMI Walk
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT hopes you'll walk for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Sunday, October 3rd, at Olin-Turville Park. NAMI is a volunteer group that provides education, support and advocacy for those and their families affected by mental illness...one in four Americans at some point in their lives! To get involved, call 249-7188 or visit their website.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT wants you to know that free mammograms will be provided to eligible women during October through the Madison affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure grantee Wisconsin Well Woman Program in partnership with Smart Motors. To find out if you are eligible and to sign up for a free mammogram, call 242-6392.
Pheasant Branch Conservancy Fundraiser
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT has a way for you to help Middleton's Friends of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. It's a photography contest now through September 15th. There are a variety of categories, so adults and kids are welcome to enter.
Donate Your "Stuff" and Help St. Vincent de Paul
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT encourages you to donate your gently used clothing, furniture and household items to St. Vincent de Paul. Money from sales at SVDP's five area thrift stores (locations here) support their services to those in need, including operation of Dane County's busiest food pantry. If you can't drop off the items, they do offer free home pick-up.
Both donating to and buying from your favorite thrift store are easy ways to embrace the recycle-reuse-reduce lifestyle!
Meals on Wheels Volunteers Needed
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT suggests that if you have extra time, volunteer for Meals on Wheels deliveries through Independent Living (IL). They especially need help on Madison's north and east sides. It only takes an hour to volunteer and can possibly be done on your way home from work. In addition, you can volunteer for as little as once a week or whenever you can fit it into your schedule. It's a neat opportunity to do something with co-workers/friends or with your kids/grandkids as a way to give back.
Or, if Meals on Wheels isn't quite what you're looking to do, there are many volunteer opportunities to help seniors stay independent. Go to Independent Living's website or call (608) 274-7900 for more info. |
