Kiwanians...we have a great speaker for this Thursday so find Bill's email and rsvp! Shelly Everett is the Executive Director of Fear2Freedom, a local nonprofit. Shelly joined Fear 2 Freedom in August 2021 in a development role and, after a brief hiatus, returned as CEO in July 2024. Her return marks an exciting chapter in advancing F2F’s mission, guided by her vision, energy, and unwavering commitment to preventing sexual violence and supporting survivors. With a deep dedication to serving survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence, human trafficking, stalking, and homelessness, Shelly combines hands-on experience with strategic leadership to expand F2F’s programs, partnerships, and community impact. As Co-Chair of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Hampton Roads Chapter’s National Philanthropy Day event, she helps strengthen the region’s culture of philanthropy while building relationships that support Fear 2 Freedom’s mission.

Great morning at the beach! Hope you get some local vacay in this weekend!

Ask me about Kiwanis. With over 35 years of membership, I have found so many reasons to be here! [email protected].

My mother had arthritis, and I remember the pain she experienced. We need more research to find better ways to manage this disease!

What is that pain in your shoulder or knees when you are working out? About 1 in 4 adults and hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. have been diagnosed by a doctor with a form of arthritis or related illness.

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month. Contrary to the common misconception, it’s not just an “old person’s” disease. There are more than 100 types of arthritis and related rheumatic diseases.

If you are a member of the sandwiched generation you may be dealing with signs of arthritis while seeing changes in your parents' pain and activity. We can help you plan for the future when activities of daily living may be difficult for your parents or other relatives. Let's chat! 757-994-1194 or 24 hours 757-974-0064.
