On Sunday, October 20, Transitions of Dyer County kicked off its annual “Drug Free Week.”

Angel Dycus, Director of Transitions, welcomed everyone in prayer. Mayor John Holden read a proclamation, making the day official, and presented the proclamation to Dycus. Mechelle Inman and residents gave their “cardboard testimony” (a method of testifying using two sides of cardboard), and the music was led by Barry Patrick and Dion Wilson. The guest speaker was Stacey Stanley of Riverbend Recovery from New Madrid, Missouri. A Transitions spokesperson said, “It was a beautiful day for the families to enjoy music, food, entertainment, pictures and visit with one another.”
