Don’t Quit, Just Come. A new year is right around the corner. Now is a great time to plan your New Year’s resolution to stop smoking. Everyone is invited to our Tobacco Cessation classes. Our November 11 class is cancelled due to Veterans Day, so make plans to attend Tuesday, Nov. 25, from 4 to 5 p.m. at the HRS main office, 235 W. Jackson St. Attendance counts as two hours of community service. Please call Kathy at 931.526.9793 ext. 212 with any questions. 

Go Vote! In the recent Aug. 7 Putnam County election, the turnout rate was only 36 percent. We can do better. Please remember to go vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4, in the local and state elections. Polls are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. And remember to honor our veterans and their families on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Plus, be thankful for all you are blessed with on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27. The HRS main office will be closed both of these days.
