Regional Rehab provides a variety of services for Union County residents at no cost to the patients, their families or insurance companies, and relies on contributions. Their services include outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dyslexia treatment, audiology services and early childhood intervention. They serve all ages.

The New Albany Main Street Association is non-profit and committed to historic preservation and community vibrancy. They follow the four-point program of The National Main Street Center of the National Trust for Historic Preservation: Organization, Design, Promotion and Economic Restructuring.

Saturday evening, about 9 p.m., a fireworks display will be presented from Tallahatchie Trails in honor of the July 4 holiday, which is the following week. The display should be visible from many sections of town with people able to stay in their vehicles if they choose.
