Hello!

Summertime is here! Are you ready for the heat, rain, hurricanes or even a tornado? It is time to get your emergency plan together and stock up on water, canned goods and batteries. Remember when using candles to be very careful. We do these things when the lights are out. We will always remember Hurricane Helene. We were not ready.

It is summer time and with it we are doing all kinds of activities. Let’s be safe and watch out for our children.
