We are organizing a day (probably a Saturday in April) for Make Bright Beautiful Day.  We will be cleaning up trash on the main roads into Bright including Jamison Rd, State Line Rd, Sand Run Rd, Salt Fork Rd, Jackson Ridge Rd, and North Dearborn Rd.  Please let us know your interest and availability by sending an email to info@brightin.org.  We will schedule the Make Bright Beautiful Day after we receive some interest.

Cub Scout Pack 693 had a special visitor at their pack meeting this evening.  The Dearborn County Sheriff Department K-9 unit brought Tjardi, the department police dog.  Tjardi showed the boys and their families all the work a police dog goes through to help fight crime.  He sniffed illegal substances and showed how to track down and capture a suspect.

Title: Bright Community Festival
Location: Bright Fire Station #1
Start Date: July 24, 2009
End Date: July 26, 2009

The meeting this evening was very well attended and there were many good comments made to the county commissioners.  There was widespread support for the Bright Volunteer Fire Company but there was overwhelming concerns about the timing of the proposed new taxes, using the property tax assessment to determine the amount of the additional taxes, the way the proposal was presented to the commissioners and communicated to the public, and the lack of information to support the proposal.

If you have any additional comments regarding the proposed new Fire District, you can click on the responses link below and we will send them to the commissioners.

A public hearing will be held at the Bright Christian Church on Monday, March 9 at 7:00pm to discuss the proposed Bright Fire Protection District.  Click here for Dearborn County Register article.
