There is a County Board of Health Position open due to Gaye Lynn

Don Williams got some ads together on Teenage Pregnancy and
plans on having them produced. Waldo Wesley did the ads for us.
We are taking this tape to the City Attorney Leslie Pearce to have
her to listen and make sure it is ok for us to run as A Public Service
Announcement. We want to give Waldo Wesley a big thank you for
doing this for us. Cinde said that she thinks putting these ads on the
radio would be a good thing as kids listen to the radio and then they
talk among their friends about what was heard on the radio and this
would be a great avenue to get the word out to the young people of
the area.
The Board would like for Jack McCasland to come and talk at the
next meeting about inspection reports and how they are figured for
the violations and the demerits. Demerits can be small things and
easy to fix and violations are usually substantial.
