Happy Halloween Week!
Step safely this Halloween! Encourage kids to stick to sidewalks and walk down one side of the street at a time. Keep porches and yards free of obstacles so little ghouls and goblins can move safely while collecting their treats. Walk smart, stay alert, and enjoy the night!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) to help raise awareness about abuse. We were able to attend a Domestic Violence presentation by Officer Leslie Allen to learn more and get resources for Sumner County. We are lucky to have Officer Allen in our community as a DV resource. Here are some other resources that were shared.
