Hello, friends. I'm back in your inbox this morning with everything you need to know about what's happening in Colorado Springs these days.

First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m.. High: 73 Low: 55.

Here are the top three stories today in Colorado Springs:

1. Primary Election ballots were mailed out on Monday in El Paso County. Residents have until June 20 to register to vote through the mail or until election Day (June 28) if voting in person. The content of each ballot will depend on the area where a resident currently lives. (KRDO)
2. There are plenty of Colorado Springs area nonprofits searching for volunteers. Summer is the perfect season to give back to the community - especially when schedules are free of schoolwork. Click for the full list of nonprofits and contact information. (Colorado Springs Gazette)
3. The United State Air Force Academy has officially unveiled its new logo. The logo incorporates the heritage of the academy through the AF wings and Chapel spires. The new logo will be used on spirit wear with the previous AF logo remaining as the school's official logo. (KKTV)
