The Wells Branch MUD and WBNA will be hosting this program in OUR neighborhood on Saturday, December 4 from 10am-3pm at the Community Center.  Lunch will be provided.  Through a grant from State Farm, we’re able to provide it to residents at a cost of only $10 per participant, ages 15-24. A drawing for gift certificates to Lakeline Mall will be held at the end of the seminar.

School will soon be out for the holidays.  There’ll be lots of trips to the mall and parties to attend.  Please take a moment to stress to your children what their safety means not only to themselves, but also to everyone around them and encourage them to attend this seminar.  Check with your insurance agent as some agents are offering up to a 10% discount for completion of this course.
