Community organizations in Lexington unite for Community Safety Awareness Block Party

A Day of Remembrance & Resilience
June 7th marks National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and Lexington will honor the occasion with a vigil commemorating lives lost to gun violence, alongside resources promoting community safety. JLD Community Solutions has been a leader in this movement, receiving proclamations from Mayor Jason Hayes and City Councilman Jim Myers in recognition of their efforts. This year marks the 3rd annual gun violence awareness event for JLD Community Solutions.

Trisha Garner appointed to Davidson County Schools Board of Education

Garner has once again placed 4th in the race for three open school board seats. This mirrors her strong showing in the November 2024 election, where she also finished fourth out of 14 candidates—just 800 votes short of a win.

Despite not securing an elected seat, Board Chair Nick Jarvis noted that the community had effectively chosen Garner when she was appointed to fill Ashley Carroll’s vacant seat. Jarvis said, “I felt like the citizens picked her”
