The Central Stars - special needs cheering squad
You've heard Dwyer talk about the cheering squad that his daughter
is involved in (The Sparkles - more
info here). Now Central High School is following in their
footsteps to create a special needs cheer squad! The Central
Stars will begin practicing 2 nights a week starting February
8th and they will perform with the Central Varsity Cheerleaders
at the Variety Show in April.
The cheer squad currently has no funding and is being run on
a strictly volunteer basis. If you can do anything to help support
this wonderful cause they would love to hear from you! To donate
time or money please contact:

"This is a golden opportunity to give homeless veterans,
as well as veterans in need of transitional housing, a safe,
clean and sober home to afford you the chance to reenter society
and be the citizen that you want to be. We help you to establish
ties with the V. A. for all of your needs. Need a job, that's
why we are here to help you. This could be the very start that
you need to regain what you have lost. We are in constant touch
with different agencies in the Quad Cities area to work with
you and to receive services that may not be provided elsewhere.
If you are a serious veteran who wants the help mentioned, this
home is your start. Not a regimental program, but a home with
other veterans who are family and you are not just a client."
