Citizens of Mead, there has been a recent increase in vehicle trespasses around town. Several subdivisions have fallen victim to these vehicle trespasses. So far three subdivisions have been hit including Feather Ridge, North Creek and Coyote Run. The suspect has been targeting unlocked vehicles and stealing things they deem of value. As a friendly reminder, to keep yourselves from falling victim, please ensure you lock your vehicles, house ,and close your garage doors. As many know there has been an increase in thefts, burglaries, and vehicle trespasses over the past year or two. Protect yourself and your valuables by taking steps to deter these events. No vehicles reported have been forcefully entered. Thanks, Deputy Pihlak
Carbon Valley Help Center Empty Bowls Project
Carbon Valley Help Center is excited to be hosting the “First Annual Empty Bowls Project.” We are located in Firestone, CO and was established in 2012 with the following mission: "To help people in immediate need move toward self-sufficiency by unifying Carbon Valley resources." At the event for a modest donation, attendees select a unique hand painted bowl made by a local artist or community member, and select a meal of soup, bread and dessert donated by area restaurants and caterers. They get to enjoy the meal with family and friends. The bowl is theirs to keep as a reminder of those who face hunger every day. A silent auction featuring the works of local artist will also be featured. This event will help to raise awareness of hunger and homelessness in the Carbon Valley area. All proceeds will be used to provide food and resources to the clients of the Carbon Valley Help Center. It will be held at Frederick High School 5690 Tipple Parkway, Frederick, Colorado on Saturday, November 22, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. The Help Center is looking for volunteers and sponsors for this project. For more information regarding how you can help by volunteering or sponsoring this event visit the Carbon Valley Help Center Facebook or email us at www.carbonhelpcenter.org or info@carbonvalleyhelpcenter.org or call the Help Center at (303) 833.6626. The Carbon Valley Help Center is located at 150 Buchanan St, in Firestone 80520.
