Thank to everyone who helped with Saturday’s annual Smoke Detector Awareness Campaign at Rural King and Wal-Mart.  (Ginny, Gertrude, Harry, Frances, Misty, David S., Bill, & Mary Elizabeth)  These folks handed out reminder information about changing batteries in our smoke detectors.  One lady said she would forget every year if we weren’t there to remind her.
