The Village will be holding its second roundtable discussion on Monday at 7 p.m. at St. Luke’s of the Mountains Sadler Hall, 2563 Foothill Blvd.

The Village is an open forum for people in the community that want to discuss issues related to raising children in this community and hazards they may face.

“We understand that these hazards can be overwhelming to face individually and we want to ensure that every member of our community receives the support they need to raise their children safely and successfully,” according to Mariam Barnes, one of the founders of The Village.

The roundtable discussion is not designed as a forum but a discussion where parents, and kids, can ask direct questions and receive direct answers.

This Monday the main topic will cover college campus safety and what college bound kids should know as they embark on their higher education journey.  Although this is the theme for the evening, the discussion is designed to be audience driven.
