Greg and Dan talk with Sasha Volyanyk, Mark Rein, and Dr. Steve Hamon about the ongoing war in Ukraine and what daily life looks like for Ukrainians more than four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

Mark and Dr. Hamon also discuss their involvement in humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, with Mark having completed multiple humanitarian mission trips to the country, and the group reflects on the resilience of the Ukrainian people and efforts to help families and children build a future despite the ongoing conflict.

Greg and Dan talk with Marisa Pfoff and Emily Whitaker of the River City Construction Foundation about the 3rd Annual RCC Foundation Bags Tournament – Tourney for the Trades, happening Friday, September 25 from 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. The two share all the details on how to register a team or become a sponsor and what participants can expect, including bags, live music, food trucks, raffles, prizes, and plenty of friendly competition. Most importantly, they discuss the mission behind the event: raising money to strengthen local high school trades programs and provide resources and opportunities for the next generation of skilled trades professionals. Last year’s tournament raised more than $50,000, and organizers are hoping to make an even bigger impact this year.
