“Slam Dunk” Against Hunger Online Fundraiser
“SLAM DUNK” AGAINST HUNGER ONLINE MADNESS ELDERBRIDGE AGENCY ON AGING NUTRITION FUNDRAISER
Older Iowans and their caregivers are experiencing food insecurity at an increasing rate due to inflation and the overall cost of living. Many rely on the Elderbridge congregate and home-delivered meals for their primary daily food intake. State and federal funding for meal programs has not increased to meet the growing demand for older Iowans’ nutritional assistance. Elderbridge is asking for assistance for our congregate and home-delivered meals. Funds raised will support and assist us in reducing the need for waiting lists for our nutrition programs. All funds received may be designated to specific meal sites/counties or the general nutrition budget and be sent directly to Elderbridge.
Under the Older Americans Act participants who meet the following criteria are considered Eligible diners and can eat with a confidential voluntary contribution.
• Any individual age 60 or older and that individual’s spouse (regardless of age)
• An individual with disabilities of any age who is living and dining with an individual 60 or over.
• An individual with disabilities of any age who is living in a senior housing complex where Senior Nutrition Program meals are served.
• A volunteer providing service during meal hours.

NOW PLAYING: Argylle (PG-13)
From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) comes Argylle, a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller. Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aiden (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.

Ian Munsick: Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick is painting a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo, out now. The 18-track album spans unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honkytonk hooks and mountain-time odes to family and forever-young fun. It builds upon the spacious roots-pop beauty he introduced on his major label debut, Coyote Cry. Over the past three years, the 30-year-old has accumulated over half a BILLION global streams and a host of accolades. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and more. A seasoned entertainer, having grown up tending cattle by day and playing music in a family band each night, Munsick toured recently alongside country music superstars Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson. Beyond his noteworthy professional accomplishments, he has also become both a husband and a father. Now the Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist is representing his home, and its special cast of people, like never before. The first release from White Buffalo, standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” off his debut album Coyote Cry. Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

Down the Mekong
What began as a kayak adventure through exotic waterscapes encountered record heat and drought conditions that forced the adventurers to slow down and experience spectacular landscapes, rich history, ancient spirituality, a legacy of war and genocide, environmental challenges, friendly people, and the delicious food of Southeast Asia. Dangerous conditions became the opportunity to “linger with the lotus” and discover hope for this amazing region. Dave Ellingson is an adventurer, author, film maker, podcaster and speaker known as the Paddle Pilgrim. He is a kayaker, Lutheran pastor, former college professor, Master Gardener, and former distance runner and triathlete. He is married, the father of five grown children and five grandchildren, and resides in Edmonds, Wash.
