A small start up by a local Arlington resident just launched a free app called WhensIt that gives busy parents in two clicks the **Local School Calendars, SAT/ACT test deadlines, and College Application Deadlines** with rankings. The resident was frustrated from years of hunting on the internet too long and too often for what he thought should be a couple clicks away. The app also gives residents a listing of all the **concerts, sporting events, expos, conferences, and shows in one place. Local organizations can add to the event listing**. The app is catching the attention of regional news outlets.

Check out the WhensIt App by downloading from the QR code.

My husband Rob is 41 years old and has Polycystic Kidney Disease, a genetic condition that causes both kidneys to fill with benign tumors until they stop working. He is in kidney failure and desperately needs a living kidney donor– he’s on the national waitlist but the current wait is seven years. Even if you aren’t a perfect match for him, he can still get a kidney with the donation of ANY healthy kidney through the paired exchange program. Please visit his website or pass it along: robsnewkidney.com. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Wishing you all a happy new year!
