Re: Follow Up; Shop with a Cop/Firefighter

We want to thank each of our media agencies for the coverage that we received on this years' Shop with a Cop/Firefighter program. This completes our 13th successful Christmas event.

Since 1995 the proceeds from fundraisers for this event have gone to provide a better Christmas for 100 needy children from both sides of Texarkana. Public Safety agencies that assisted in this event are as follows:

Texarkana Arkansas Police

Texarkana Texas Police

Texarkana Arkansas Fire

Texarkana Texas Fire

Arkansas State Police

Arkansas Highway Police

Bowie County Sheriff's Office

Miller County Sheriff's Office

Miller County Volunteer Fire

Nash Police Department

We would like to thank each officer, firefighter, and caseworker that donated their time to ensure that a child had a pleasant experience while Christmas shopping.

Thank you and you can visit the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department online at http://www.txkusa.org/arkpolice.
