SUMMARY:'Celebrate 18!' will honor 100 girls aging out of Foster Care on July 17
DESCRIPTION:‘Celebrate 18!’ – a statewide birthday party for 100 girls turning 18 and aging out of the foster care system – will be held on Saturday\, July 17\, 2021 at the Auburn Community and Event Center. \nThis year girls who turned 18 in 2020 during the pandemic are invited to attend as well. \nAt Celebrate 18! each girl receives a new outfit\, a makeover by professional beauticians\, a rolling duffel bag\, a swag bag filled with everyday necessities and individually wrapped birthday gifts. On hand are service providers\, employers and social service organizations that can answer questions and provide needed guidance and information. The evening concludes with a catered dinner and foster alumni sharing a message to “their 18 year- old self” Girls can now register at https://bitly.com/Celebrate-18. \nHistorically\, to many girls aging out of foster care\, turning 18 has not been a time to celebrate but rather a time of anxiety; many are without clear direction or support as they transition into adulthood. After the last celebration\, one of the girls said\, ““I feel like I was actually loved and supported by others. It’s kind of overwhelming because I’ve never had this kind of care and love in my life…I love today” \nCelebrate 18! is hosted by Eileen & Callie’s Place\, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established specifically to support girls aging out of foster care. The organization focuses on building relationships with these girls through one-on-one mentoring. Plans are in the works to open a transitional home to provide safe and secure housing for girls as they age out of the system. \nMore info here: https://eileenandcalliesplace.org/celebrate-18-6/

SUMMARY:Here's how to watch Blue Origin's Jeff Bezos & crew blast off into space Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Blue Origin’s New Shepard remains go for launch this Tuesday\, July 20\, 2021 from Launch Site One in West Texas\, with an historic payload – human beings. \nThe live broadcast is set to start at 4:30 a.m. PDT\, with liftoff targeted for 6:00 a.m. PDT. Live coverage can be seen online here: \nhttps://www.blueorigin.com\nThis is the Kent-based company’s first launch to include live people: Jeff Bezos\, Mark Bezos\, 82-year-old ex astronaut Wally Funk and the youngest-ever\, 18-year-old Oliver Daemen. Daeman will be the first paying customer to fly on board New Shepard\, marking the beginning of commercial operations for the program. The winner of Blue Origin’s auction – who has asked to remain anonymous at this time – has chosen to fly on a future New Shepard mission due to scheduling conflicts\, and Daemen is a replacement for this historic launch. \nFlying on New Shepard will fulfill a lifelong dream for Oliver\, who has been fascinated by space\, the Moon\, and rockets since he was four. Oliver graduated from high school in 2020 and took a gap year before continuing his studies to obtain his private pilot’s license. This September\, Oliver will attend the University of Utrecht to study physics and innovation management. \nWALLY FUNK HISTORY\nFulfilling a lifelong mission to become an astronaut\, Wally Funk will also fly to space on New Shepard on Tuesday as an honored guest.
