A big thank you to all those who were able to come out to our Police Week kick-off party last Monday for Frito Pies and Cake Walk. Also thank you to community members who participated in the rest of the week’s festivities, including Esme Jusi, daughter of officer Max Jusi, who dressed up as an officer and won the $100 cash prize! Thank you to Kevin Woods and the Salvation Army for their generous donation for the food, Olerud’s for ordering the food, and all the volunteers who helped make it possible! The funds raised will go to our Shop with a Cop event, where some children will be able to go shop with an officer for their parents over the holiday season. Please stay tuned for a gelato event and also a golf tournament later on in the summer. This organization is doing good things for our community and we appreciate all the support!
