The 2019 Eggstravaganza

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

 April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month; It is necessary to increase awareness to prevent all types of child abuse and neglect as a community. Child abuse and emotional trauma affect children of all ages, races, and socio-economic status. The abuse will occur in places that are familiar to the child.  This abuse is usually done by someone that the child knows.  Our children depend on all of us to advocate and protect them.

Great day amazing residents of Clayton County! As we were conducting our final walk through, preparing for the Eggstravaganza that's going to be absolutely incredible for the children, I noticed a batting cage next to one of the ball fields. I asked the staff about it and they advised me that the batting cage is new. So I felt it would be great to make a post about it. It is that time of year, so it only makes sense. Here is a photo of the new batting cage at Carl Rhodenizer Rec Center (3499 Rex Rd., Rex, GA).
