The Mississippi RiverKings and the DeSoto Arts Council are teaming up again to support local autism initiatives in the 2nd annual “RiverKings Art for Autism” reception on Saturday, March 19 at 5:30 p.m., in rooms 6 and 7 of the Grand Hall at the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven.

The Home Depot wants to help you get rid of those tangled strands of broken Christmas lights and put some new eco-friendly lights on your tree this year.

For the third year, Home Depot is sponsoring its Eco Options Christmas Light Trade In event. People can trade in their own lights and get a coupon worth three dollars off of a string of LED lights.

On Monday, August 2, 2010 Hollywood Casino® Tunica will launch its week long “Bust the Slot Myths” educational campaign to support the American Gaming Association’s Responsible Gaming Education Week held August 2 – 6. 

This year’s American Gaming Association’s (AGA) theme, “Taking the Mystery Out of the Slot Machine,” will focus on educating casino employees and the public about how slot machines work and correcting some of the misconceptions about them. Understanding how casino games work is a key component of responsible gaming, and helping gaming employees learn more about how slot machines work is an important part of empowering them to educate casino patrons about what it means to keep it fun.
