Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

Friendly staff is available to answer any questions you may have about becoming a member. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club is the sort of place where you can connect with fellow community members and experience the welcoming atmosphere that sets BTSRC apart. If you have any questions, feel free to call at 386-446-6717. If you would like to learn more about our club and membership options please visit online.
Notably: As if anyone were paying attention: the Women’s World Cup is taking place in Australia and New Zealand these weeks, with the United States favored to win it again–for the fifth time! And the third time since 1999–and The New York Times headlining blaring, “This U.S. World Cup Team Is One for the Ages. All the Ages” (though the headline was playing on a few different themes). But the event doesn’t appear to be making an impression here despite rising stars like Sophia Smith and established ones like Alex Morgan. The indifference isn’t just American. Liberation, the French daily, front-paged its exasperation with the global shrug a couple of days ago, headlining its only editorial that day: “Injustice” (French for Injustice.) “Who, aside from aficionados, has heard of the Women’s World Cup that starts Thursday?” the paper asked. “How many pubs and cafes have installed giant screens to show the matches?” (We checked at Brown Dog: nothing.) The event isn’t commanding much by way of network rights, either, and the time difference isn’t helping, though organizers are matching match times with home fans’ clocks: The United States played Vietnam on Friday smack in prime time, at 9 p.m. Palm Coast time. The Americans don’t play again until Wednesday, against Netherlands, again at 9 p.m. At least this world sports event isn;t taking place in an authoritarian black hole for once. From that Times story: “That generation gap, and how the U.S. team deals with it, is likely to be one of the prominent stories of the World Cup. But it is also a symbol of the latest pivotal moment in the evolution of the women’s game: a time of contentious debate about equal pay and human rights, and of battles for investment and demand for equal treatment with men. For the United States, a four-time World Cup winner, this tournament also presents a new, unrelenting challenge from rivals rising to meet the Americans’ level as leaders, spokeswomen and champions.”

The men should stand fast & protect us, protect ourselves as a father refuses his child something he knows that child is better without. In the eyes of the world you are the Father of this great United States & you personally know that Suffrage ought not to be granted through Federal Amendment & that it never will by the States individually, that the women of this country are not fitted for the vote & that it will not come if you hold firm. Therefore I ask you to be true to your ideals of States Rights & of womanhood.
–From a Mary Wilson Thompson letter to Woodrow Wilson, July 30, 1916.
