We're hosting another appreciation party for the Madison Police Department's west district - and we'd like for you to be our guest. This year it's being held in May to coincide with National Police Week. The event is for west district officers & staff, and their loved ones, but officers from any district are welcome to attend. It's open house-style, just like last year, so you can stop in at your convenience to meet and greet the officers and your neighbors. We're set with food & cash, so there's no need for you to donate. I'm blown away by the generosity of the event's sponsors . . . *Our friends at MidWest Family Broadcasting have again, donated $500, which will be used for extra food, beverages, supplies - in addition to the following generous donations. *Freshly-made pizzas delivered on the hour. Donated by Rosati's. *Brats, grilled on site. Donated by Metcalfe's Market. *Snack trays. Donated by Blue Plate Catering. *Professionally-designed sheet cake (remember how gorgeous last year's was?), floral bouquet, water, and cookies. Donated by Pick N Save *Desserts. Donated by Silly Yak Bakery. *Cookies. Donated by Chick-fil-A. Is your mouth watering? If so, join us on Tuesday, May 16, 2:00 to 6:00PM, at Madison PD-west district, 1710 McKenna Boulevard, in the community room. (I know it's a month out, but I wanted to give you a chance to clear your calendar if needed.) Hope to see you next month! All the best. : ) --Paula Fitzsimmons
