SUMMARY:The National Kidney Foundation of Indiana hosts free Indiana Kidney Check Screening at the Indiana Statehouse in honor of World Kidney Day
DESCRIPTION:In honor of March’s National Kidney Month\, and World Kidney Day on March 13\, 2025\, the National Kidney Foundation of Indiana (NKFI) is hosting a free Indiana Kidney Check Screening at the Indiana Statehouse from 9 AM to 12 PM. \nAt this FREE kidney screening\, participants will receive a BMI calculation\, Blood Pressure Reading\, ACI urine test\, Glucose test\, eGFR Reading (if necessary)\, and a Consultation with a Medical Professional. Participants will also be able to take home education brochures on many topics related to kidney health. \nWalk-ins are welcome\, but registration is highly encouraged. To register\, call 317-722-5640 or email BSpice@kidneyindiana.org. \nAdditionally\, the NKFI is asking everyone to wear orange on March 13 and post their selfies on social media with the hashtag #WKDIndiana. \nMost people are unaware that the risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes\, high blood pressure\, a family history of these diseases or kidney disease\, obesity\, or being over age 60.  Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading causes for kidney disease. People who are Black or African American or Hispanic or Latino are at increased risk for developing kidney disease. Therefore\, it is critical that attention be brought to this often-overlooked health crisis. Anyone can take a quick online quiz to assess their risk factors for kidney disease at MinuteForYourKidneys.org.

DESCRIPTION:Though Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing populations in Indiana\, with roots dating back to the late 1800s\, many of the community’s historic and cultural sites are overlooked. A Feb. 4th event presented by Indiana Landmarks in collaboration with national nonprofit Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP) will detail efforts to recognize those sites and engage Hoosiers in a conversation about the state’s history of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. \n\nNow home to over 200\,000 Asian Americans\, Indiana boasts a wealth of significant and active Asian American cultural sites\, including the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington and the An Lḁc Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in Indianapolis. Others\, such as the historic Bamboo Inn Chinese restaurant\, once located within Indy’s Circle Theatre Building\, and Columbia City’s soy sauce manufacturer Oriental Show-You Company\, founded by Japanese American Shinzo Ohki in 1924\, no longer exist\, but their stories offer insight into heritage that might otherwise be lost. \n\nJoin Indiana Landmarks at an interactive workshop on Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. in Indianapolis to learn about ongoing efforts to document\, celebrate\, and preserve Asian and Pacific Islander American historic sites in Indiana and nationwide. \n\nThe event’s agenda will include an overview of Asian and Pacific Islander American history in Indiana followed by an interactive presentation on APIAHiP’s “East at Main Street” mapping project. The second half of the workshop will provide time for attendees to contribute their own research and experiences\, or simply to pose questions about the history of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Indiana. \n \n“We want this event to kickstart a dialogue for people in Indiana to think consciously about what should be preserved and why\,” said Calvin Nguyen\, a preservation coordinator with Indiana Landmarks. \n\nThis event will be led by Huy Pham\, executive director of APIAHiP\, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting historic places and cultural resources significant to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. \n\nAsian and Pacific Islander American is an umbrella term for a broad\, diverse group of Americans and their experiences. \n\nWHAT:                Mapping Asian and Pacific Islander American History in Indiana \n  \nWHEN:                 Feb. 4\, 6-7:30 p.m. \nWHERE:               Online and at Indiana Landmarks Center\, 1201 Central Ave.\, Indianapolis 46202 \nCOST:                    Free with RSVP \nRSVP:                    MappingAPIAHistory.eventbrite.com or 317-639-4534

SUMMARY:Greater Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church 90th Anniversary Banquet
DESCRIPTION:Greater Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church is excited to announce its 90th Church Anniversary Banquet\, which will be held on Saturday\, November 2\, 2024\, from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. at Primo Banquet Hall\, located at 2615 National Avenue. The event will feature special musical guests Men in the Fire and a sermonette delivered by Pastor Shawn Floyde of New Christian Hope Missionary Baptist Church. \nThis milestone celebration comes after the church recently faced a significant challenge when a fire caused substantial damage to its building. Early one morning\, church leaders were alerted by the security system and arrived to find the church engulfed in flames. Though many belongings were lost\, the building itself\, along with the pews and a Bible\, miraculously survived the blaze. \nFor 90 years\, Greater Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church has served as a cornerstone of the Riverside community\, providing a place of worship for its 40-member congregation. Despite the setback\, the church remains steadfast in its mission\, with the upcoming anniversary banquet symbolizing a new beginning for the congregation. \nPastor Ramon Batts expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received from fellow\nchurches and community members. “This fire is not the end of our story; it’s a new chapter in the history of our church. We will continue to worship\, celebrate\, and look toward a brighter\nfuture\,” Batts said.
