We are glad to assist in funding an item or program that helps ensure safety in the Vernon County area.”
The check from Dairyland for $1,000 was presented to Vernon County Sheriff John Spears by Lane Peters, Genoa Site Manager; Marty Moe, SCIS Security Project Manager; and John Henkelman, Quality Assurance Specialist.
