It's Friday! Good morning to all our friends and neighbors, we hope you all are feeling well and rested this morning. The weekend has arrived and before we all ride off into the sunset let's talk about the news and events coming up soon and how you can all get involved. The kids are back in school but there are still fun activities including some back to school events taking place this weekend. Also, we've got some very cool footage to show you today as well. We had the pleasure of attending a session of the Law Enforcement Youth Academy of Aurora Illinois Police Department and we'll debut that footage on the program today! It was very inspiring and we appreciate the tour! Our friend Pam Bradley of Kane County State's Attorney's Office has been spearheading this powerful youth program for over a decade, supported by other law enforcement partners. This class recently graduated at a ceremony at Prisco Center and we wish them all a bright future in their endeavors. This is another example of a great local news story about the amazing things taking place in the 2nd largest city, Be blessed! Let's get ready to learn! Here's the news:

- Thursday, August 22nd bring your family, kids, neighbors and friends and join The Neighbor Project for another public Ice Cream Social at Blackhawk Park on Aurora's west side!
