Good morning, Macon.

Volunteers are building a Habitat for Humanity home in Napier Heights to honor former CEO of NewTown Macon, Josh Rogers' legacy—his leadership inspired many community members.

Local organizers have scheduled a week of varied events in Macon that begins with a free Game Night/Music Bingo at Friends on the HILL tonight and includes Tuesday storytelling at Grant’s Lounge, art classes at Artspace, business mixers, bar crawls and live music shows through Sunday (venues include Bear’s Books, The Capitol Theatre and others). Residents can choose family-friendly activities or events for adults with options to suit every interest.

Maryann Davis, a 24-year-old from Warner Robins who has battled kidney disease for 14 years, now needs a transplant and is seeking a donor with blood type O or A.

A local nonprofit will host Scream for Maryann — a fundraiser with family activities starting Saturday, Aug. 16 at 4 p.m. at Lake Joy Trails of Terror — to help cover her medical costs.
