This is a cross-post from the Be Active Decatur blog.
Why not take the family out for a healthy meal on Tuesday night and be rewarded for it? Decatur Active Living and Decatur Tourism have partnered to promote healthy eating with the Eat Well Indie-Catur campaign happening in October. Eat out at any of the participating restaurants, choose the special healthy meal offered on Tuesday, get your tracker card signed by the wait person and you are on your way to earning a recipe collection! How easy is that?
Eat out any three Tuesdays, get those three signatures on your card and then turn your card in at the Decatur Visitors Center to earn your FREE recipes.
There are three Tuesdays left in the month, so get started this week! Cards are available at the participating restaurants.
This is a great opportunity to try some new dishes.

You may have noticed orange fencing outside the Towne Square condominiums near the intersection of Sycamore and Church. This will be in place until the investigation and repair of a sinkhole is complete. Everyone is encouraged to be cautious as they travel through this area, especially those who pass the site on the Sycamore sidewalk.

It’s Fire Prevention Week, the perfect opportunity to build a home map, make a family communications plan, and create a “Safety Profile” at www.smart911.com.
A Smart911 Safety Profile asks for life-saving information about yourself, family members, bedroom locations, pet information and more that will automatically display on the 9-1-1 call taker’s screen when you make an emergency call. These details can save valuable seconds or even minutes during an emergency, seconds or minutes that can literally be the difference between life or death.
Smart911 is private and secure, and you control what information is in your profile.
