We had a fantastic start to Law Enforcement Appreciation Week on Monday, May 13th. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our sponsors, volunteers, elected officials, and our speaker for making the event a success.
WM Grocery provided a delicious taco bar, complemented by tea, water, desserts, and all the necessary dining supplies. Our event was generously sponsored by Wellborn Cabinet. The White Plains Choir delivered a stirring performance of the National Anthem, setting a patriotic tone for the day. We were honored to have Rick Burgess as our featured speaker, whose words were both inspiring and motivating.
A special thank you to Congressman Mike Rogers for attending and showing his support. We also extend our deepest gratitude to all the Law Enforcement Officers and retirees who participated, celebrating the dedication and service of those who protect our community.
