The Oneida Daily Dispatch (Oneida, NY)

Community showed great support for first responders

-

The Oneidas Club would like to publicly thank each and every person who attended our annual Charlie Decker Public Safety Dinner and Awards. Your attendance helps the club support our scholarshi­p program for Criminal Justice students and supports our first responders and crossing guards.

The chiefs of the department­s and the guest speaker, Dou Shattuck, the Madison County Fire Coordinato­r as well as our own John A. Reinhardt as emcee would make any organizati­on proud.

Not all the work was done directly by the club members. We owe a grateful thank you to the Oneida Daily Dispatch, PAC 99 and the on line service, the Oneida Observer for continuous advertisin­g support. John Brewer’s Dispatch article on the event was outstandin­g.

We would also like to thank the Oneida area merchants who made generous donations to the raffles, as well as all the local businesses, clubs and private persons who placed advertisin­g in the event program.

Food and venue make a tremendous difference in how much an event is enjoyed. Once again, the Kallet Civic Center and the Rusty Rail and Oneida Floral gave us outstandin­g support.

There can be no doubt that no event goes off as it should without proper planning, extensive follow-up and just plain hard work, for which we thank our board and members.

Oneidas Club, arguably the oldest of the civic clubs in the city, is active in recognitio­n of excellence in public service and education.
