Whether you’re an avid paddler looking to get in on a competitive river race, or simply in search of a fun-filled, laid-back “float,” Race for the Rivers 2010 is the event you’ve been searching for! With water education, restoration and recreation as the focus, The Greenway Network, a non-profit citizens action group, is set to re-stage their fourth annual Missouri River paddling event on the weekend of September 4 & 5, 2010.
Race One: The Race for the Rivers, is a staged-event covering 65 miles of the scenic Missouri River from Washington Missouri all the way to the Confluence. It is a race for the serious paddler with strong endurance and a desire to compete.
Race Two: The Clean Water Challenge, is designed for the less experienced racer and/or recreational paddlers – a NON-STOP friendly competition race at a discretionary pace. This event begins in Weldon Spring and concludes in historic Saint Charles at the Race for the Rivers Festival in Frontier Park.
The Festival is open to any and all who are interested in good food, great music and more information about how to encourage and enjoy healthy rivers. All tax deductible pledges will go to support Greenway Network's various clean water initiatives.
See the Race for the Rivers event webpage for more information.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has canceled the weekend closure of westbound Route 40 at the Missouri River (Daniel Boone Bridge) the weekend of Sept. 10-13.
The closure for the weekend of Sept. 17-20 is still scheduled.
Because of rain, the contractor completing the repairs has not had enough time to put up all the scaffolding needed to complete a full weekend's worth of work. Rather than close the bridge for only a portion of the weekend, the department has elected to attempt to complete all work on the weekend of Sept. 17-20.
The preventative maintenance work is needed to ensure that the 1930s-era Boone Bridge remains safe for the 75,000 vehicles which use it daily. |

Right at Home of St. Charles is hosting a Trivia Night to benefit Alzheimer’s Research. More than 5 million Americans, including 4,300 residents of St. Charles County, currently have Alzheimer’s disease. This number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by the year 2050. This disease affects 1 in 3 American families, which means that billions of dollars are needed each year to provide care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
The services offered by the Alzheimer’s Association truly help families when they need it most –through the 24-hour Helpline, community education programs or other supportive services. But these services require funding. That is why I am writing you today to ask for your help on behalf of the families of St. Charles County. Individuals and businesses in St. Charles have raised more than $250,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association at the annual Memory Walk ® in the last 5 years, with 82 cents of every dollar going directly to services for local families.
