Today on DelmarvaLife:
Boy Scout Troop 149 has been serving up spaghetti dinners for 52 years! Many scouts join us in the studio audience today to talk about their troop and what activities they participate in. The 53rd Annual Spaghetti Dinner is Sat., Feb. 3 from 4 pm-7 pm at Bethesda United Methodist Church. Dinner includes spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread, beverage and dessert. Ticket are $8, children 5 and under are free, and carry out is available.
It’s reported that one in five athletes will sustain a sports-related concussion during the season. After a high-impact injury, it’s a matter of knowing the signs of a concussion, even if your child feels okay. DelmarvaLife’s Sydney Whitfield headed to Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children to get the facts on concussions.
We are so humbled when we have people join us in the studio and share what they’re going through as they battle cancer or some other disease. What we learn is that each of these people has an incredible support system. Organization that are there every step of the way to help those people are amazing, but they can’t do it without community support. That’s where you come in! Connie Holdbridge, program manager of education and survivorship with the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, joins us today. Connie tells us about the different programs they offer and their upcoming Annual Lights of Life Gala. The event is Sat., Feb. 24 from 6 pm-11 pm at Dover Downs.
We’re back with Most Wanted Monday! Lt. Tim Robinson with the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office joins us in the studio with a new wanted list. See today’s Most Wanted list here.
