Well-Being Checks

The Wagener Police Department has reinstituted well-being checks, a system in which a registered town resident receives a weekly visit from a police officer just to check up on their well-being.  Officers will visit with the resident and ask if there's anything he or she needs weekly and after a severe storm.  In some situations, this has proven to be a life-saving service.  WPD Chief Greg Stanford said the well-being checks are advantageous to a small town, reminiscent to a time gone by and "one of the more enjoyable parts" of his job.   A resident must call the town hall to be placed on the list for a well-being check.

Back2School Bash Needs Volunteers

The August 12th Back2School Bash will be held at a different location this year, please make note of this.  The bash will be held on the grounds of the CTFK office across from the high school from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. August 12, 2017.  The police department will be present to assist with road crossings. 

As we prepare for the annual Churches Together for Kids Back2School Bash, we are in need of many volunteers and many supplies.  The ways in which you can help include donating supplies, sponsoring a booth, donating money, volunteering in person on the day of the event, praying before, during and after.

To sponsor a booth, look over the list to determine what school supply your organization would like to give out at the bash.  Email or call CTFK to sign up for this supply.  Pass the word to your organization and start collecting.  On August 12th, set up your booth and pass out the supplies.  You need to have your own volunteers to work your booth.  You will need to supply your own table and chairs as well.  We encourage you to bring a pop-up tent for your table as well, but that is optional.

Collection for School Supplies:  800 highlighters, 5000 pencils, 1600 glue sticks, 800 large erasers, 1200 composition books, 600 1" 3-ring binders, 1500 spiral notebooks, notebook paper, and 3800 pocket folders with brads.  We'd like to thank the following sponsors who have already signed up:  First Baptist Church for supplying rulers, Perry Baptist Church for supplying crayons, and Tabernacle Baptist Church for supplying ink pens.

All school supplies that are not picked up will be delivered to the schools.
