Alcoa Power Generating Inc. provided 250 free life jackets to children earlier this summer and provided additional life jackets to the Davidson County Sheriff's Department to distribute to children riding on boats without life jackets. The efforts are part of our annual "Play It Safe on the Lakes" safety campaign.

"Cpl. Randy Holbrook, supervisor of the Davidson County Sheriff's Office lake patrol, said he's a big proponent of Alcoa's safety measures. In addition to the new equipment, the company has purchased a boat for the sheriff's office and continues to provide funding for deputies to monitor the lake," writes Ignasiak.
