Family Wellness Marketplace to Kick Off 2015 State of the County Address

A Family Wellness Marketplace at 5:30 p.m. March 12 will precede Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell’s 2015 State of the County address.

The expo and speech, with a reception afterward, will take place at the Putnam County Golf Course, 187 Hill Street in Mahopac.

As she has in the past, Odell said she has chosen to highlight a particular theme as she starts her first full term and fourth year as County Executive.

“This year will be ‘The Year of the Family,’” she said in a press release. “While Putnam has long had the reputation for being a great place to raise a family, and many consider the Putnam community itself a large family, we are going to focus on how we can help maintain the family as a unit as we move forward making our fiscal and social decisions.”

The Marketplace will highlight businesses, organizations and not-for-profits throughout Putnam and showcase the number of services offered for families through various county departments such as Health, Social Services, Youth Bureau, and Tourism.

Among the topics Odell said she would be discussing are:

• the One Army on the War on Addiction
• the Donate for Life initiative to increase life-saving organ donations
• Putnam’s financial status
• the effects of this severe winter’s weather on county infrastructure and facilities
• updates from Tilly Foster Farm
• breaking news from the Bureau of Emergency Services
