We are excited to welcome “Body & Brain Yoga and TaiChi” to Downtown Decatur! Their new location, opened December 1st at 308 W. Ponce De Leon Ave. F2, will allow you to experience their unique form of yoga/meditation/tai-chi training. Different from other forms, Body & Brain Yoga is Korean in origin, which means it is more centered on energy work and Chakra balancing. (Basically like receiving acupuncture through stretching and breathing.) They are offering 30% off of new memberships for their Grand Opening in December, so be sure to call or stop by to check them out! You can find them online at www.bodynbrain.com/decatur.

Safety and Your Tree

The Fire Department sends along these safety tips for your holiday tree:

  • Natural trees should be cut at a 45 degree angle at the base & placed in water.
  • Place tree away from sources of heat.
  • Use only non-flammable decorations.
  • Use only lighting evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
  • Inspect lights for frayed wire or other defects before use.
  • Do not leave lights on unattended.
  • Keep natural tree stands filled with water at all times.
  • When the tree becomes dry, discard it promptly.

Tree Safety Tips.2

 

Officer Roberts and Officer Adams participated in the DeKalb County Fraternal Order of Police 24th Annual Santa Shop with a Cop program this past weekend.

Officer Roberts helped these young ladies select gifts for themselves and family members too.

Officer Roberts helped these young ladies shop for their favorite thing, dolls!

 

The kids were given a pre-set amount of money to spend on themselves and family members.  The officers assisted with the shopping and said they had to keep the kids on track and remind them to pick out gifts for themselves because the kids were more concerned about shopping for family members.
