Two representitives from Alabama Power presented an electrical safety demonstration for HIPPY families on January 31. They showd parents the dangers of electrical boxes and downed power lines, and gave out a coloring book to the children.
The parents enjoyed this demonstration and were able to get many questions answered. Alabama Power also gave parents handouts on how to avoid scams claiming to be from the power company.
While the parents were watching the demonstration, the children enjoyed craft making with several of the students from Wallace Community College's Early Childhood Development classes in Eufaula. The students read a story and helped the kids make snowmen and penguins."The students from Wallace Community College did a great job and our children realy enjoyed tem,"said Catherine Chapman of HIPPY.
"This was a great night for volunteers because we also had a few ladies from Christ Child Circle here to help us in serving a meal to our families. Christ Child Cirlce has been a great organization to help with our HIPPY activities. We are grateful for our partnership with them and all of the help they give from month to month.
The group's next meeting will be combined with a workshop that the Eufaula City Schools system planned for February 26 at 6:00 p. m. in the central office boardroom.
