In recognition and appreciation of local law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and first responders, Polk County Community Connections invites all to join them for breakfast on Thursday, June 1 at 7:30 a.m. in the community rooms at Citizens Memorial Hospital, located at 1500 N. Oakland Avenue. The public is invited as well to show their appreciation.
“These groups, agencies, departments are always on the job protecting our communities, preparing for emergency situations and responding to needs,” says board president Bill Nichols. “Community Connections just wants to say ‘thanks’ and remind them they are appreciated and valued. We’ll have some brief discussions on their work as well as talk about how all of us can support them in their work. I truly invite all that are a part of one of these groups to be our guests, as well as encouraging other community members to attend in support.”
The Community Connections meeting lasts 60 to 90 minutes, but those attending may leave as needed to get to work or school. Those attending are encouraged to bring materials and information about their business, school, organization, agency, or church to share with others.
Community Connections is a non-for-profit 501c3 organization supported by a coalition of volunteers, churches, businesses, agencies, educators, and health care providers from throughout Polk County. Community Connections partners with these coalition members to help improve the overall mental, physical, spiritual, social, educational, and economic health of Polk County families. Meetings are open to the public.
