Each year, WoodmenLife Kentucky West Chapter 20 in Cadiz does its best to find reachable goals to assist different parts of the community.
One such example was observed during Monday night’s Trigg County Fiscal Court meeting, when Steve Darnall and Chapter President Genee Moore announced the organization’s donation of nine carbon monoxide detectors.
Darnall noted they will be placed in the care of Emergency Manager David Bryant, who will then give them to the county’s volunteer fire departments.
Judge-Executive Stan Humphries also lauded Darnall and WoodmenLife’s recent efforts to replace American flags all around the county. Over the last few days, fresh Stars & Stripes have gone to the Little River Baptist Association, the Trigg County High School baseball and softball teams, the Cerulean Masonic Lodge, the Janice Mason Art Museum, The Way and Vinson Cemetery.
Another 16 flags are bound for Friends of LBL Tuesday.
