3/19/13 - A special ceremony will be held in front of the Howell Carnegie District Library to kick off April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The annual Pinwheels for Prevention event will take place on the library’s front lawn at noon on April 1st. It’s organized by the Child Abuse Prevention Council and LACASA. Pinwheels were chosen by Prevent Child Abuse America as a symbol of the joy and hope of childhood. CAP Council Program Director Deanna Norris says all community members are invited to attend and plant blue pinwheels on the library lawn which will remain in place through the month of April as a show of support for Livingston County children and families. She says the special 30-minute event will feature the voices of students from Voyager Elementary School in Howell, local Junior and Cadet Girl Scouts and words of inspiration from local leaders and child advocates.
