Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires. Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land.

The Economic Development Commission meets on the first Thursday of the month at 5 p.m. in the Town Hall Council Room (unless there is an observed holiday). The Economic Development Commission promotes and supports quality economic development to increase the number of quality jobs within the Town, to increase the non-resident share of the tax base, and to support local businesses. The duties of the Economic Development Commission are defined and established by Indiana Code IC 36-7-12-1 and Town Ordinance 32.36. The Commission consists of three board members and one Town Council liaison member. The terms of the three board members are as follows: one member is appointed by the Town Council President for a three year term; one member is appointed by the Town Council for a two year term; and one member is appointed by the Hendricks County Council for a one year term. The Town Council liaison is selected by agreement of the Town Council.

Do you want to improve your balance and strength? Find a relaxed state? Then Chair Yoga is for you! A stable chair is offered for comfort and reassurance while we move in a gentle, controlled manner.

Move through a slow and steady practice where postures and breath connect to create a simple flow.

Restorative Yoga uses seated, reclined, and mat-based yoga postures/alignments to allow unwinding from the pace of daily living. Longer holds for most postures allows an opportunity to experience deeper stretching, focus, and relaxation. Props, such as blocks and straps, will be available to assist in alignment and support. This class will use breath work practices and also incorporate meditation skills to explore the mind-body connection.
