Good morning, Chandler.

The Arizona Animal Welfare League, supported by the Bissell Pet Foundation, is hosting its 'Empty the Shelters' adoption event today at the Main Shelter in Phoenix + the Chandler Fashion Center Adoption Center.

Families can adopt all pets for free, including kittens and puppies, to help open space for more animals in need.

Chandler Realtor Darwin Wall is organizing the 12th Save 2nd Base pub crawl to support breast cancer victim Allisa Morgan, with a noon check-in at The Uncommon on Oct.

18 in downtown Chandler. A 75-dollar ticket includes a State 48 tee and swag bag—helping raise thousands of dollars as free drinks are offered at six local bars.

Today at Vision Gallery on 10 E.

Chicago Street — a downtown venue — the free 'So Fun!' Day runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and offers maximalist-themed crafts, life-size chess, and an exhibit with works by Lex Gjurasic, Sarah Hurwitz, Emily Spetrino, and Chloe Torri.

A conservative education advocate, formerly a West Valley board member, urges Chandler voters to support the Chandler Unified School District bond and override request on November 4 — a plan that will address a $66.8 million annual shortfall in capital funding to maintain school safety for more than 38,216 students. He explains that when approved, using $45.51 million of override funds will maintain over 5.5 million square feet of school space — a step to equalize funding with charter and voucher programs.

Drivers in Chandler have no freeway lane closures planned this weekend but are advised to check ADOT’s website, app or X account for ramp closures and traffic updates—ADOT noted that a Loop 202 closure has been postponed and pavement sealing work on Loop 101 and Loop 303 will affect travel in parts of Scottsdale and the West Valley at set times.
