The Child Abuse Prevention Council is encouraging people in Warren County to take action to create the great childhoods all children deserve because our children are our future.  Child Abuse Prevention Month celebrates the small actions each of us can take that make a big impact on the well-being of our children.  Healthy development in childhood establishes the foundation for future health, learning and overall well-being into adulthood.   A community built on caring relationships strengthens families from the start and gives parents with a history of trauma an opportunity to heal.
 
Show your support for child abuse prevention by wearing blue on Blue Out Day which will be held on Monday, April 18th.   To learn more about ongoing child abuse prevention programs and activities visit us at www.cap.warren.ia.us or contact c.reisener@mchsi.com or 515-249-5130.

Chamber Night with the Iowa Energy

The Indianola First Assembly of God is once again bringing a unique Easter experience to the Indianola Community - The Egg Drop - on Saturday, March 26th at the National Balloon Classic Balloon Field.
 
This year, volunteers will drop 50,000 eggs from hot air balloons (weather permitting) for children from toddler up to fifth-grade to gather. Other entertainment will include live music, bounce houses and games, a petting zoo, face painting and local food vendors.
 
Last year the event drew thousands of people and with the excitement it created, the event is expected to draw thousands of people again this year. It's a great opportunity for your business to get its name in front of young families in the community. First Assembly of God is offering partnership opportunities for local businesses (see the flyer for sponsorship levels). All monetary donations and partnerships with The Egg Drop are tax-deductible. For more information or to secure your partnership involvement, contact the church at (515) 961-8488.
