Scams are becoming more sophisticated, but knowledge remains one of the best ways to stay protected.

Recently, United Way Area Agency on Aging of Jefferson County hosted its annual Fraud Summit, bringing together experts to share practical tips, resources and strategies to help community members recognize and avoid fraud: https://uwaaa.org/recognizing-red-flags-fraud-summit-offers-expert-advice-on-scams/

Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom.

It is recognized as the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States and is a time for reflection, education and celebration of freedom and resilience.

Today, we honor the strength, perseverance and contributions of generations of African Americans while reflecting on the enduring significance of freedom.

Hear from Lige' Richardson-Shears of Girls Inc. of Central Alabama and a Fairfield student about the impact of mental health education in Fairfield City Schools and the growth they've seen in students who are stepping up as leaders and role models.

A love of reading starts early, and our J. Mason Davis Leadership Society is helping make that happen!

As part of their ongoing classroom reading initiative, JMDLS members recently spent time reading with children at a Success By 6 site. The visit included a special surprise thanks to a volunteer who hand-knitted pigeons for the students to take home.
