California Tortilla recently launched a fundraiser for national nonprofit Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE), which provides financial grants to food and beverage employees with children when they face a qualifying circumstance. Through a month-long initiative starting Monday, September 20, California Tortilla encourages its guests to opt-in to offer a ‘Side of Hope’ with a $1 donation! All contributions will go directly to CORE to further their mission and provide grants to food and beverage families during their time of need. Grants help bridge the financial gap when a parent is experiencing a personal or natural disaster. Funds may go toward medical costs, rent, groceries, and other qualifying expenses.

The Mt. Airy Volunteer Fire Company will be hosting an Open House on Friday, October 1st from 5:00 until 8:00 P.M. This year will be different from previous years. We will have apparatus parked outside. Visitors can just drive-by and see all of our emergency vehicles. If they choose to stop and take a closer look, we will have educational demonstrations in our open apparatus bays. Packaged snacks will be available and each child that visits will receive a "goodie bag" and helmet.

For Adults. Join the Mount Airy Knitters for a weekly roundtable of knitting, conversation, and fun. All experience levels are welcome.
