TAUNTON - Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South has served thousands of hot, healthy dinners to youth in need in Brockton and Taunton since their grab-and-go meal program was launched on March 18, just two days after Clubhouse programming was suspended due to COVID-19.
Knowing how critical nutritional assistance is to the vast majority of the 2,500-plus youth BGCMS serves each year, Club leadership quickly jumped into action to create a safe and convenient grab-and-go alternative to the dinners Club members traditionally receive each night at the Brockton and Taunton Clubhouses, to ensure that all Brockton and Taunton youth ages 0-18 – not just BGCMS Club members – would have access to a hot, healthy dinner each weeknight.

Female entertainment isn't a place for misogyny - The Signal
In 2019, rapper Meagan Thee Stallion coined the phrase "hot girl summer," an extension of her "hottie" fan base. Hot girl summer originally was a playful representation of her platform and soon spiraled into confusion and controversy.
Around the country, many celebrities and consumers attempted to figure out the meaning of the phrase. Many people assumed it was just a catchy phrase, but as the term became associated with another trend, "city girl summer," it became associated with themes of infidelity, STDs, poor feminine hygiene and credit card fraud.

As Girl Scout Cadettes, Avery Welch and Katrina Larsen teamed up to address a need last year, and the project is one that keeps on giving.
The then-eighth-graders built four different "Blessing Boxes," currently in place at four different locations in Saratoga County to help people in need with basic food items.

A one-of-a-kind opening day in Yellowstone | Powell Tribune
This year has been different for everyone, including those hoping for their first chance into the wilds of Yellowstone. For the first year in memory, the park was completely closed to traffic at all …
Schools are shut down and I, as a full-time waitress in Cody, am on leave and out of work. My children are online schooling and I am trying to prioritize essentials like everyone else.
However, I decided to take my coin jar savings from waitressing, and make it a memory in Yellowstone with all of my girls. Last year I took my youngest, Grace, to Yellowstone on opening day and we were first through the East Gate. My older two girls were bummed they could not take off school last year, so this was the year we could finally enjoy opening day together!
