It's the return of spring! The weather is finally turning around, which means we can all head outdoors to enjoy it again. There are several opportunities around the area in the upcoming days that will get you up from your couch or desk and outside for a good cause. Today is National Walk at Lunch day where employees are being encouraged to get up and move. Many local employers are encouraging this because it promotes a healthier workforce... what better reason (excuse) to get out of the office for a little while and stretch your legs!

Tomorrow is the first regional Day of Caring. People from all across the area will be working on projects for United Way agencies. You can do anything from plant flowers, to paint walls, to help area kids.

Here are the meeting places if you would like to take part in the April 19th Day of Caring.

Fort Smith - Ft. Smith Riverfront Park, 7:30 am
Siloam Springs - Henry Park, 7:30 am
Bentonville - NWACC Bogle Plaza, 7:30 am
Fayetteville - NWA Mall, 8 am

Another event where you can get out and enjoy the nice weather is at the Ozark Race for the Cure in Fayetteville going on this Saturday. There is a 5K run/walk that starts at 8 am and a 1 mile fun run/walk that starts at 8:30. If you would like to sign up, just look for the Think Pink Week/Race for the Cure link on our Sunrise web page.
