The Chardon Square Association is proud to present its second annual Chardon Kids Fest on Thursday, August 18th from 12 noon to 10pm. This year, the Chardon Kids Fest is also sponsored with support from Home Savings Bank of Chardon.
The Chardon Kids Fest is a day of safe activities designed for children of all ages. Starting at noon, the Kids Fest begins with activities focused for children 14 and under with displays of racecars, aerial acrobatics, and other events and kid-friendly activities.

Geauga Children's Services Levy - Nov. 2, 2010
Thank You Geauga County!
This note is from Barbara Rakes at Geauga Job and Family Services:
Thank you to everyone that helped with the Levy campaign! It is always nice to have a successful campaign and we can be proud that the residents of Geauga County supported us with a 58%-42% margin.
State wide, all 9 of the Children's Services Levies on the ballot passed in this election. This is a nice example that even in these difficult financial times that our communities still believe in supporting services for the children that can't help themselves.
Thank you again!

Sexting: The New Threat To Our Youth
Sexting is electronic communication that can include sexual comments about self or others, nude pictures, and pictures of body parts via cell phones, e-mailing, or IMing. It can be for the purpose of having “text” sex sessions, flirting, attention seeking, setting up future contact, or bullying.
A class is being offered on understanding how “sexting” is influencing the lives of our teens. It is mandatory that at least one, preferably both, parents attend with their teen.
Presenters will include Brittain Paul, LISW-S, from Ravenwood Mental Health Center, Mark Clark, the Geauga County Sexual Abuse Investigator, and Tracy Jordan, the Geauga County Victim Advocate.
When: March 29, 2011
Time: 6:00
