April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, so the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services, Biggest Little Radio 101.3, and the City of Fernley are partnering to bring awareness to this cause locally.
On Monday, April 16 at 11:30 a.m., there will be a ceremony to plant pinwheels on the front lawn of City Hall, located at 595 Silver Lace Boulevard. These pinwheels serve as a reminder that every child deserves a happy childhood.
Mayor Roy Edgington will read a formal proclamation during the ceremony, declaring April 2018 as National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month in Fernley.
The public is invited to attend this event. In addition, the City urges all citizens to recognize this month by dedicating ourselves to the task of improving the quality of life for all children and families.
In addition, Biggest Little Radio 101.3 in Fernley will be doing a series of on‐air segments regarding child welfare awareness. These clips will air on Thursdays from 12– 12:30 p.m.
Information regarding National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month can be found on social media by searching: #greatchildhoods.

The coin is beautiful. Congrats on 25 years as a city!

Comment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
