Leroy is a male brown tabby. He’s only a year old. He’s a shy guy who came from a home with a multitude of other cats. So while he may take a bit to warm up to humans, he will do just fine in a multi-cat home! Leroy’s adoption fee is only $40 and will include his neuter, microchip, treatment for upper respiratory infection, and vaccines & deworming. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

Old National Events Plaza Launches “Meet Evansville†Campaign Today in Conjunction with Visit Indiana Week
Old National Events Plaza launches a “Meet Evansville†digital campaign today targeted at convention & meeting planners. The campaign encourages businesses and organizations to consider the southern tip of Indiana and the vibrant and growing community of Evansville when selecting the destination for their next conference or meeting.
An interactive website found here, will feature city venues, arts districts, attractions and nightlife via a beautiful photographic collage of Evansville while generating sales leads for prospective meetings and events.
In 2018, over 160,500 guests visited Old National Events Plaza attending meetings, conferences, sporting and other entertainment events. The venue hosted over XXX events, representing an economic impact of 6.7 million dollars. The “Meet Evansville†campaign was initiated to grow that impact by highlighting Evansville and Southern Indiana as a viable alternative to more central state locations for conventions and large gatherings.
“We believe this digital campaign will attract the attention of top state and regional meeting planners to help grow Evansville’s momentum and reputation as a leading destination for meetings and events. Through new partnerships with both local and state organizations, including the South Bend Convention & Visitors Bureau, we are continually looking for innovative ways to attract guests to our developing city for an experience we know they will enjoy and remember.â€

Holcomb Signs Public Health, Good Government Legislation
Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statements after signing two Next Level Agenda bills. SEA 141 ensures access to quality treatment by implementing standard requirements for office-based opioid treatment providers. HEA 1269 restructures membership on boards and commissions affiliated with the Professional Licensing Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
SEA 141 Office-Based Opioid Treatment Providers
“Timely access to quality treatment is essential for Hoosiers overcoming addiction. With our goal of most residents being no more than an hour away from an opioid treatment program, it’s important that we have office-based treatment in every community. I am thrilled to sign this legislation that balances guidelines for providers and ensures a standard of care will be met for every Hoosier in need of medication-assisted treatment.â€
Â
HEA 1269 Administrative Boards
 “One of the pillars of my Next Level Agenda is providing great government service at a great value to taxpayers. By streamlining these duplicative boards and commissions and improving customer service, we will cut red tape to deliver more efficient, cost-effective programs to citizens and businesses alike.â€
 Gov. Holcomb signed a total of 61 bills. Visit the 2019 Bill Watch webpage to view these and other bills the Governor has signed into law.
