Coyotes Awareness

Coyotes are more prevalent in the community this time of year due to pup rearing season. For the most part, coyotes coexist well within the urban environment and will not affect our daily lives. The best way to minimize the presence of coyotes, and protect against pet losses, is to report sightings and take precautions.

May is Older Americans Month

Older adults play vital, positive roles in our communities. They are our family members, friends, mentors, volunteers, civic leaders, members of the workforce, and more. Just as every person in unique, so too is how they age and how they chose to do it. There is no “right” way! That is why the theme for this year’s Older Americans Month is Aging Unbound. It is an opportunity for everyone to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved in their communities.
