Hello Everyone,

Our speaker tomorrow is Daniel Webb, Deputy Administrator at San Juan County Adult Detention Center. Plans to give an insightful presentation highlighting the importance of collaboration among first responders.  He’ll emphasize the critical role the Detention Center plays in supporting law enforcement and the courts, and the essential services it provides to the community. If you’re interested in touring the Detention Center, let Daniel know and he can make it happen.

Last week’s speaker was Gina Intoppa-City of Farmington Marketing & Communications Manager.  She spoke about exciting events happening at city facilities: Boys & Girls Club BBQ tickets now on sale, Four Corners Balloon Rally Sept 26-28. Totah Labor Day rug auction, and Kiwanis members can purchase amphitheater tickets at farmingtonshows.com and use the password “Kiwanis” for 20% Discount off ticket price.
