Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith and Anegla Hipp, the Mentoring Coordinator at Community Connections. Smith recaps the FNBO Chili Cook-Off and gives us a more in-depth looking into Mid-Plains United Way. Hipp talks about the mentoring program at the Community Connections&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Mid-Plains United Way kicked off their 2023-2024 campaign with the 28th Annual FNBO Chili Cook-Off. For this year's event, over 240 people attended and almost $4,000 was raised. The event this year raised $500 more than last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mid-Plains United Way supports 11 non-profits and serves in a 16-county region. "The non-profits provide services and programs that improve education and health and finical stability for people in need," said Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith.&nbsp;

One of these organizations that is supported by the Mid-Plains United Way is Community Connections of Lincoln County. Community Connections is a non-profit that matches youths with mentors. Many of the youths will be matched up with mentors that have very similar skill sets.&nbsp;

Teammates is another program that matches youth with mentors. However, Community Connections has a slightly different approach than Teammates. "Well just that, you know (Teammates) school based, there meeting at the school at a set time each week. There are kids who need maybe some mentoring outside of the school," said Mentoring Coordinator Angela Hipp. "We think the relationship can really flourish when they are able to go do that."&nbsp;

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Wendy Dodson about the upcoming 21st Annual G.R.E.E.N Event taking place on Saturday, October 21st.

NORTH PLATTE – The 21st annual G.R.E.E.N. fundraising event for the North Platte Catholic Schools is planned for Saturday, October 21st at St. Patrick High School. Generating Resources for Educational Excellence Now is the largest single event of the year for the North Platte Catholic Schools Endowment Trust, which works year-round to generate around $600,000 for McDaid and St. Patrick’s schools.&nbsp; 

Endowment Director Wendy Dodson says that this year’s event will feature all of the things that supporters have loved about G.R.E.E.N. over the years… A delicious meal, an online silent auction, Heads or Tails game, Lucky Lotto drawing, live auction, and Spirit Wagon raffle. Plus, guests may also try their hand at the Wall of Wine and the Wall of Whiskey and enjoy some fun entertainment with the Polka Police.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dodson says that since the G.R.E.E.N. event began in 2003, it has generated over $2.1 million dollars in&nbsp; support of the North Platte Catholic Schools. These funds have been used to establish a teacher&nbsp; retirement fund, support general operations of McDaid and St. Patrick’s, fund school improvement&nbsp; projects and technology, and to provide tuition assistance for families.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tickets to G.R.E.E.N. are $75 per person, which includes drinks, dinner &amp; entertainment. Call or visit the Endowment office to register: 308-534-5939, 601 S. Tabor Ave. on the NP Catholic Schools campus. You may also purchase tickets and register online at: https://onecau.se/green. Or, text “green” to 243725.&nbsp; You do not have to be present to win the Lucky Lotto or Spirit Wagon drawings. You may register to bid on auction items and participate online, even if you are unable to attend the event in person. The&nbsp; G.R.E.E.N. Silent Auction will open for bidding at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 19th.&nbsp;

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Vaughn Fahrenbruck who is the senior pastor for the Rock Church in North Platte. The Rock Church is hosting a RocktoberFest this Saturday.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Rock Church in North Platte is hosting their annual RocktoberFest this Saturday beginning at 5:30 at the Rock Church. The event will have family friendly activities, chili and cinnamon rolls, live music, pumpkin painting, and so much more. The event is free for anyone to attend.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This event initially started off as a chili cookoff before being switched to something fun and new. "It started out as a chili cookoff in our church, and we wanted to show North Platte how much we love our community," said Rock Church Senior Pastor Vaughn Fahrenbruck. "Were very for North Platte, very for our community and decide let's open it up to the entire city." The Rock Church wanted to find ways to expand their chili cookoff and get the community involved and that's how RocktoberFest was created. "We wanted to make it as a popup pumpkin patch and let's make it fun and let's make it free," said Vaughn.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Connection Homeless Shelter is hosting a fundraiser event called the Out of the Box Challenge.

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with councilman Ty Lucas about the September 19th North Platte City Council.&nbsp;&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The September 19th North Platte City Council meeting has officially passed by.

Lucas gives a good insight on the topics discussed in this city council meeting recap. If you would like to hear the two conversations about the meeting, check out the podcast.
