Through the link you can find the form to fill out! This goes into a database for law enforcement to be aware that the driver or passenger may have communication issues. Information will be connected to your license plate, and several plates can be listed. The form can be mailed, scanned and emailed, or given in person at any Ohio BMV! There is no cost, but you will need a healthcare provider’s signature.

House Bill 144, also known as Keith's Law, went into effect in Ohio on January 19. The law improves interactions between first responders and people with disabilities. It does this by giving first responders advance information about a person's specific needs.

People who want to register under Keith's Law can submit a disability verification form to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities: https://bit.ly/4sWtznM

Our Adventurer scouts enjoyed their Christmas party! 🎁 They decorated gingerbread houses, gave and opened their secret Santa gifts, and had a left-right passing party! They each received a Nerf gun during the passing party. So, of course, an epic Nerf battle ensued after! Another great year

Back in November, our Adventurer Scouts started their next Servant’s Heart pin! They began with filling boxes for Operation Christmas Child, giving gifts to children in another part of the world. Next, they made Christmas cards for Wounded Warrior Project, sending holiday cheer to our American soldiers wounded and being treated overseas. Then, they created paper flower bouquets for nursing home residents at Hill View Retirement Community in Portsmouth. They have the greatest hearts and always ask for our next community project ♥️
