Thank you Chief Backing and the Lake Odessa Police Department for planting some pinwheels and bringing awareness to our community about Child Abuse Prevention Month! Blue pinwheels are the national symbol for child abuse prevention. The pinwheel represents the great childhood that every child deserves, and the role we each play in providing a loving and supportive environment for the children in our lives. We ask that everyone place a pinwheel display out for the month of April. If you need more pinwheels, you can order your pinwheel displays today at https://www.imsafecac.org/pinwheels-for-prevention.html
