2018 MEETINGS AND EVENTS
On December 13 Roni Pierce arranged a fabulous Holiday Party at the Bayview Room of the Sandwich Hollows. The food was delicious! Gingerbread houses created by Roni adorned each table and each went home with the lucky winners.
Roni even arranged live entertainment provided by Morgan White Jr. who challenged us with tricky trivia questions, and rewarded us with prizes. We won't give away which table had the most correct answers, but everyone got into the competition!
Thank you, Roni!

SCPAA Semi-Annual Meeting
Thursday, October 25
Thursday, October 25
The Semi-Annual meeting was attended by a fun crowd on the 25th. We heard updates on the SCPAAA activities from President Mike Miller, Event Coordinator Charlie Holden, and Community Services Officer Brian Bondarek, and the Treasurer's report from Dennis Driscoll. Lt. Josh Bound let us know that the Safety Complex is progressing rapidly, and the Police Department is planning to move in at the beginning of 2019. Due to the attention and time required for the move to take place, the Lt. informed us that there will not be a Citizens Police Academy Class this year. Following a break, Mike Miller, Lt. Bound and Officer Bondarek awarded members who have volunteered extensively with new lanyards.
