Today: Eugene Guernsey of Merrillville, one of the organizers of the "100 Club of Lake and Porter Counties," is with us to talk about the nearly one-year-old organization that helps the families of any first-responders (police, fire, EMS, male or female) who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Five years ago, two police officers died in Lake County communities in incidents about two months apart. The trauma that their families experienced in 2014 is still on the Club members' minds -- and it gave them the incentive to help others who may face the same situation in the future.
We also have conversations with northwest Indiana financial advisor Greg Hammer during national Financial Literacy Month and with "Valpo Next" board president Eric Zosso about the community improvement group's projects this year.
