Event Description
Please join MONA for our first Home Safety Speaker panel on January 9, 2020, in the Auditorium of the Arlington Central Library from 6:30-8pm. Learn how to make your home safer for your own family, your children, their friends and guests. The three featured speakers will share the importance of safe storage and disposal of prescription drugs, safe storage of firearms and safety precautions for children with food allergies. While the presentations focus on how to keep our children safer, this presentation is for an adult audience only.
