Good morning, Bloomington.

Effective July 1, Sharon Dodd will serve as executive director of the Multicultural Leadership Program—she was appointed to lead its efforts in promoting diversity.

Mothers in Bloomington-Normal with twins, triplets or more meet in the Mothers of Multiples Club—a support group active for about 50 years that offers monthly events, sales and advice to help manage the challenges of raising several children.

Women like Tiffany Bennington and Tiffany Groves say the group gives them practical help and a place to share real life stories.

A Saturday morning apartment fire at 707 East Grove Street displaced two residents—which led to a search and rescue effort with one firefighter treated for heat exhaustion—and fire officials later warned that missing smoke alarm batteries and hoarding conditions increased fire risk.

Small business owners in Bloomington-Normal are facing higher prices and uncertainty as tariffs on imported goods from China—announced on April 2—push up costs and force them to seek new sources.

Some owners said they will feel even more pressure later this year if these trends continue.
