Danville Public School Foundation meets with Danville Lions Club
Directors Richard and Yates updated Lions members about their work supporting the District 118 schools. Richard thanked the Danville Lions for their annual donations since 2021 to the Foundation's 365 Club. The 365 Club is their primary fundraiser each year where members pledge to provide at least $1 per day in support of the Foundation's mission. More information is available at dpsf.org.
The mission of the Danville Public School Foundation is to promote, aid, and encourage enhanced educational opportunities for the students of Danville Public Schools beyond those provided through tax dollars.
They provide creative, inspiring, and fun learning experiences in support of the curriculum, which offers students opportunities to expand their knowledge or understanding of a subject and pilot innovative educational opportunities.
The foundation also provides schoolwide educational assemblies to enrich students' learning experience, funds projects in partnership with District 118 consistent with the guidelines, and through an online classroom endowment request process, they make it easy for teachers to dream big for their students by sending their innovative ideas to DPSF.
The Foundation is not tax supported. Donations for individuals, businesses, and foundations provide funding for the Foundation to continue its mission. The Danville Public School Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors of 15 community volunteers. The Foundation operates independently of Danville Community Consolidated District 118; however, Foundation funds are used to support the students attending Danville Public Schools.
The Foundation invited donors to celebrate at the 365 Club Breakfast April 17, at 8 a.m. at Turtle Run Banquet Center, 332 East Liberty Lane. For information or to attend the 365 Club Breakfast, RSVP to Stephanie Yates at yatess@danville118.org.

'The U.S. is Running Out of Workers' – New Book Offers Urgent, Research-Backed Solution to the Workforce Crisis
Orlando, FL July 27, 2025 --( )-- Richard Finnegan's Targeting Turnover Launches September 9, 2025 from Berrett-Koehler Publishers As talent shortages sweep the nation and frontline managers face increasing pressure to retain staff, bestselling author and employee retention expert Richard Finnegan sounds the alarm in his powerful new book, 'Targeting Turnover: Make Managers Accountable, Win the Workforce Crisis,' available for purchase on September 9, 2025, from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Finnegan, widely recognized as the originator of Stay Interviews and a frequent SHRM speaker, draws on decades of research and client success across high-turnover industries – from healthcare to manufacturing – to present a bold truth: the U.S. labor force is shrinking, and the only sustainable way forward is to stop losing good employees. 'Forget perks and Ping-Pong tables,' says Finnegan. 'The number one reason employees stay or leave is trust in their immediate supervisor. And most companies aren't holding those leaders accountable for building it.' With five previous books and work spanning six continents, Finnegan has become a go-to expert for turning around turnover rates. His model – used by companies like Wayne-Sanderson Farms, Covenant Health, and Clayton Homes – has helped reduce employee exits by 30% to 58%(i), generating millions in savings and boosting morale in the process. Why Media Should Talk to Richard Finnegan Now Finnegan offers timely and evidence-based commentary on topics at the heart of the 2025 labor conversation: What's behind America's shrinking workforce and how employers can adapt Why most manager training programs fail – and what actually works How to hold leaders accountable without micromanaging The power of Stay Interviews and predictive metrics in reducing attrition How trust – not pay – is the new currency of retention The intersection of AI, immigration, and Gen Z in the future of work With accessible insights, data-backed strategies, and a passion for helping leaders lead differently, Finnegan delivers practical answers at a time when employers are desperate for solutions. About the Author Richard Finnegan is CEO of C-Suite Analytics and the leading authority on employee retention. His work has been featured in BusinessWeek, and he regularly speaks at global HR conferences including SHRM. He is the architect of the Stay Interview process and has helped organizations across six continents reduce turnover by up to 58%(ii). Finnegan is the author of five previous books, and Targeting Turnover is his most urgent – and actionable – yet.

Australia, Britain sign 50-year AUKUS submarine partnership treaty
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's government said on Saturday it signed a treaty with Britain to bolster cooperation over the next 50 years on the AUKUS nuclear submarine partnership. The AUKUS pact, agreed upon by Australia, Britain and the U.S. in 2021, aims to provide Australia with nuclear-powered attack submarines from the next decade to counter China's ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration announced a formal review of the pact this year. Defence Minister Richard Marles said in a statement that the bilateral treaty was signed with Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey on Saturday after a meeting in the city of Geelong, in Victoria state. "The Geelong Treaty will enable comprehensive cooperation on the design, build, operation, sustainment, and disposal of our SSN-AUKUS submarines," the statement said. The treaty was a "commitment for the next 50 years of UK-Australian bilateral defence cooperation under AUKUS Pillar I", it said, adding that it built on the "strong foundation" of trilateral AUKUS cooperation. Britain's ministry of defence said this week that the bilateral treaty would underpin the two allies' submarine programmes and was expected to be worth up to 20 billion pounds ($27.1 billion) for Britain in exports over the next 25 years. AUKUS is Australia's biggest-ever defence project, with Canberra committing to spend A$368 billion over three decades to the programme, which includes billions of dollars of investment in the U.S. production base. Australia, which this month paid A$800 million to the U.S. in the second instalment under AUKUS, has maintained it is confident the pact will proceed. The defence and foreign ministers of Australia and Britain held talks on Friday in Sydney on boosting cooperation, coinciding with Australia's largest war games. As many as 40,000 troops from 19 countries are taking part in the Talisman Sabre exercises held from July 13 to August 4, which Australia's military has said are a rehearsal for joint warfare to maintain Indo-Pacific stability. Britain has significantly increased its participation in the exercise co-hosted by Australia and the United States, with aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales taking part this year.
