Driving Notes

Today we shared a big “Who Knew?” about an amazing event next Wednesday!

WNZR’s Marcy Rinehart talked with Captain Christine Moretz of the Mount Vernon Salvation Army about the upcoming drive-thru Thanksgiving Dinner.  Todd McKinley talked with Stuart Washington of Lakeholm Church of the Nazarene, who will help prepare the meal.

This dinner is a partnership between 4 groups! The plan is to serve 1,500 meals on Wednesday, 11/25!

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardsmen — we are thankful to them all for their service. Veterans Day is their day. Take time today to do something special for a veteran.

Tell them “thank you,” volunteer or donate to a veterans’ organization, or perform a random act of kindness to let a veteran know that they are not forgotten, and neither is their service.

To all the heroes have served our country, we thank you and honor you on this Veterans Day. Thank you for all your sacrifices and for fighting for our freedom!

Here’s a quick message we found today:
