In late December, the Prince William County Police Department celebrated the graduation of its 50th Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) class. The students were made up of professionals from the county, Manassas, Manassas Park, the Adult Detention Center, Prince William County Sheriff's Office and various state agencies.

Prince William County Police Officer Latrell Guy, who was a member of the 50th class, said he now better appreciates the hardships people face in dealing with mental illness.

"I just have a better understanding of what the person themselves might be going through and get them the help they need rather than go to a more restrictive route," Guy said. "We need to understand what they have to live with and how we can help them get through their day. It’s something everyone should take in general to be more knowledgeable about these situations."

On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!).

The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??

But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
