Good Afternoon Everyone.

We wanted to ask that everyone check on your neighbors and family and friends. A lot of people are still without power and cellphones are not working for some. If you haven’t seen or heard from someone please go check on them.

Temperatures are getting colder and we want to make sure everyone is warm or if they need something we can get it to them.

Please contact Chief Calvin Winters at 618-499-3289 or the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office. Also remember there is a warming shelter at Cave-In-Rock city hall and the aeMA building in Rosiclare.

Thank you! Please share this!
