It was really good to talk with my Aunt Verna today! I found out she's doing good down in rural Pope County with her Ray's chili, Spam, Vienna sausages, crackers and mustard. Sounds legit to me! She had a request for a Kenny Chesney song I had forgotten about, but I'm thinkin' "Rise Up", is gonna be our new theme song to get us through this mess we are all goin' through!
The Herrin House of Hope has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of meals served each week due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Last week, it was an approximate 400% increase in meals served to members of the Southern Illinois community. If you can help out in any way, financially, or even with volunteering if you are healthy, you can find out how to do that at the Herrin House of Hope website! Located on S. 14th Street, the Herrin House of Hope serves meals Monday through Saturday from 11AM to 1PM! In case you missed it, I was able to speak with Pastor Troy Benitone with Community of Faith Church. He helps organize the incredible volunteer effort that takes place there every day!
My friend Bart, a veteran from Harrisburg, called me with this poem on today's #KiTC Morning Show for Veteran's Day. In case you missed it, here ya' go! It's simply called, "I Am A Soldier".
Ian Munsick is a name you might not be familiar with right now, but after you see him this Saturday (10-30-21) night at the Show Me Center, you'll want more of his music! This guy can play any stringed instrument ya' got! He's a super talented sing and songwriter, and he's opening for Easton Corbin and Cody Johnson! I had a chance to talk with Ian on today's #KiTC Morning Show.
