“This is the fourth annual Cranston Family Safety Day and we have a really great program put together for the children,” said Dana DeVerna, Director or the Cranston Substance Abuse Task Force. “This program would not be possible without the help of several different groups including Cranston Police and Fire Departments and the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety.”
According to Janice Pascone, Garden City Center marketing director, “Cranston Family Safety Day is a great way to raise awareness of child safety issues and have fun for the whole family.”
