Safety Tips from our Friends at the Town of Vienna Police

Start seeing everyone "Eye to Eye" - The Town of Vienna Police Department wants you to stay safe. Bicyclists, Pedestrians, and Drivers making "Eye to Eye" contact prior to proceeding can prevent dangerous interactions. To learn more about the program, click on the "Eye to Eye" logo or email MPO W.G. (Bill) Murray at Town of Vienna Police, wmurray@viennava.gov.

The July 2011 CDC report states that obesity costs this country about $150 billion a year, or almost 10% of the national medical budget. Approximately 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 6 children are obese. Obesity is epidemic in the United States today and a major cause of death, attributable to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

We need to change our communities into places that support healthy eating and active living. Watch the video below to learn more.
