To the editor:

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis in our region, the Berlin NH Kiwanis Club is prioritizing the health and safety of our community by canceling this year's Family Safety Day Rodeo at the Berlin Recreation Center. This annual event hosts many different organizations which provide informational handouts, safety aids and devices to prevent accidental injuries and improve the health of our youth and adults. Kiwanis realizes the importance of our bicycle/ multi-sport helmet distribution in lowering the number of serious incidents of trauma associated with accidents and falls. Therefore, the Berlin and Gorham Police Departments will continue to provide our FREE-OF-CHARGE helmets on site to any child or adult needing one. There are enforced limits to ensure equitable distribution throughout the communities. We look forward to reviving the event next year as conditions allow.
