(L to R) Clyde Thorpe (Lott Cary Convention), Mildred Adkins and Pamela Hoyt (American Red Cross), and Beth Skufca (Senior Connections) took part in installing smoke alarms as a joint effort between the organizations on Nov 21 in Charles City. The program was started to protect homes and save live and bring awareness of the importance of having the smoke alarms, especially during months when additional heating may be used for homes.
