I decided this year to get more involved with a wonderful
community service. The Child & Family Support Center offers
assistance to families through education, counseling, 24 hour
crisis nursery, and much more. I have really enjoyed serving with
the "Circle of Friends" to help with their fundraising events.
The month of April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Each on these pinwheels represents 10 children who have received
some kind of benefit this year from the center. There were over 5.000
children helped from our Valley.
Each pair of shoes on the steps of the County Courthouse
this morning represent a child from Cache County who was in
some way abused this last year. The number of shoes on the
steps today were less than last year! This means that they are
doing a great job of educating the community.
This is my good friend, Esterlee, who is the Director of this
great Center. I'm honored to be able to volunteer and help out
with such a good cause!
This is just the first of many, many events that will take
place this month in our great community.
