On August 14, 2018, the Desoto Parish Sheriff's Office and DeSoto Council on Aging hosted their quarterly Senior Fun Day at the Training Center located in Grand Cane, LA.  Over 140 were in attendance for this event which included games, door prizes, BINGO, food and much more.  Sheriff Jayson Richardson spoke to the crowd and presented an award to Council on Aging Administrator Cheryl Lane and Board President Will Richardson in appreciation for dedicated service and support to the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office and the S.A.F.E. Program.  Other speakers were Brian Williams with District 8 Fire Department speaking on storm preparedness, Jane Leone and Christy Shoalmire of Citizens Bank spoke on current check fraud and scams, and Rosalind Patterson of Patterson Purvis Funeral Home who spoke on the importance of life insurance and proactive planning.  DeSoto EMS was also on site providing free blood pressure and blood sugar testing.   We would like to thank State Representative Larry Bagley for coming out and speaking at the event, EMS Administrator Joe Magee, District 8 Fire Chief Bill Deloach, Captain Phillip Daniels and our DeSoto Auxiliary for assisting in this event.
