The Granville County Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Sunrise Forum will be held Friday, November 13th at Butner Town Hall, Central Avenue in Butner. The Town of Butner will be hosting the meeting and providing a light breakfast upon arrival. The program should begin around 8 am, or shortly thereafter.
Kenny Atkinson, Complex Warden for the Federal Correctional Center in Butner, has made arrangements for a group of the members of the US Public Health Service who traveled to West Africa about a year ago to speak to the group. Their presentation is entitled, “Experience Traveling to Africa to Treat and Train for the Ebola Outbreak.”
The leadership for the group notes that “the key to controlling the Ebola epidemic was to focus on stopping it at its source in West Africa. That included providing support and care for those courageous healthcare workers and responders who were on the front lines combating this disease.”
Their presentation on November 13th will cover information about their team, training, focus, medical care, etc.
The Town of Butner is welcoming attendees by providing a light breakfast and a time of visiting prior to the presentation. The Chamber offices would appreciate knowing of intentions to attend – 919.528.4994/Toni Anne Wheeler, tawheeler@granville-chamber.com or 919.693.6125/Wanda Garrett, wanda@granville-chamber.com.
