I’m a little late posting this since the event was Saturday, May 30, but I really wanted to make sure I acknowledged the St. Charles County Ambulance District’s grand re-opening, the remarkable team behind it, and the important services they provide. 🚑 SCCAD hosted the community from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with BBQ, building tours, information stations, ambulance tours, and opportunities to meet employees and leadership. The ambulance and mass casualty ambulance were especia

I wanted to share an important reminder after receiving information from the Lake Saint Louis Police Department about scams affecting residents in our community.
