April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and local organizations are rising to the occasion to spread the word about child abuse awareness and prevention within the county. The Dawson County Woman's Club, and their offshoot high school group Juniorettes LEAD, spent an afternoon last week placing pinwheels in the ground in front of Grace Presbyterian Church in downtown Dawsonville. The eye-catching, wind-twirling pinwheels are a conversation starter, and hard not to notice according to Woman's Club Domestic Violence Project Coordinator Nancy McNeill.
