April is recognized across the nation as Child Abuse Prevention month. Although some of the activities bringing together our community in recognition of this month have been sidelined due to COVID-19 safety precautions, it is nonetheless important to acknowledge the significance of this month.
The beginnings of this official month began in this country when the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act was passed as federal legislation in 1974, and the original purpose remains intact to this day.
This legislation represents the principle of preventing both child abuse and neglect.
The U.S. Department of Human Services is the Federal agency that has been charged with supporting states, tribes and communities, in providing programs and services to protect children and strengthen families.
Chaffee County Family & Youth Initiatives and partners are hosting a community art display event with prizes to bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
Create and display some kind of blue artwork or blue pinwheels in your window or yard during the month of April, and submit a photo to enter a drawing for local gift cards.
The color blue is a reminder to fight for the protection of children. Pinwheels symbolize that all children deserve happy, bright childhoods.
Entries will be accepted through 5 p.m. April 21. Include full name, mailing address and phone number and submit to aswan@chaffeecounty.org. Drawing will be held April 26.
The Chaffee County Community Foundation, in partnership with the Chaffee County Department of Human Services announce an individual assistance program aimed at filling existing gaps in both eligibility and funding
Chaffee Common Ground requested commissioners make a 2021 Chaffee County budget amendment Tuesday. Commissioners unanimously agreed.
Rick Hum and Cindy Williams presented the proposal, showing that sales tax collections for Common Grounds funds have exceeded the boardâs forecasts by 5.8 percent for 2020, more than 2019 collections by almost 10 %.
With that in mind, the board suggested adding full funding for the Methodist Mountain Front fuel break project at a cost of $180,090. That action would allow them to move $163,998 into the Coyote Valley Road fuel break, starting it in 2021, one year early.
Commissioners will consider the countyâs 2021 budget during their meeting Dec. 15.
Dave Henson, president of the Marijuana Excise Tax Advisory Board presented the boardâs fall 2020 grant cycle funding recommendations.
