interact with the community.“An event like this gives us the<br />
opportunity to showcase the different health and safety organizations in<br />
our region,” she said. “And, it gives us a good chance to get out into the<br />
community and really demonstrate how these organizations can be<br />
beneficial to community members.”<br />
