Drug court judge to speak at Jan. 20 ladies brunch

The next Ozark County ladies prayer brunch will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 20, at Clear Springs Church near Dawt. After the meal, the speaker will be Judge Peggy Davis, drug court commissioner for the 31st Circuit Court in Greene County. Since 2000 she has presided over, or still presides over DWI court, adult drug court, family drug court and mental health court and veterans court. At the prayer brunch, she will talk about the current drug-problem epidemic and how communities can overcome the problem and help support families struggling with addiction. Because this is a matter of interest to many Ozark County families, organizers said women are welcome to bring their husbands to the gathering.
