LaFayette Woman’s Club thanks local law enforcemen­t

- From Rachel Oesch Willeford

The LaFayette Woman’s Club collects and donates cards, notes, and gift bags to local law enforcemen­t agencies. As part of Law Enforcemen­t Appreciati­on, the club worked with members, individual­s, churches, and businesses to collect notes and cards of appreciati­on from the community and food items to be delivered to the LaFayette Police and Fire Department, Walker County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol, and Walker County Emergency Services.

“The LaFayette Woman’s Club has always been a supporter of law enforcemen­t. During this difficult time in our country, we want our local law enforcemen­t to know how much our Club and the Community appreciate­s their service.” LaFayette Woman’s Club board member Cecilia Westbrook said.

This year, in addition to the usual goodie bags, the club asked the community to participat­e by writing letters and cards of appreciati­on during the month of June. Those cards were collected by the club and distribute­d along with the goodie bags.

Every year the LaFayette Woman’s Club honors local law enforcemen­t throughout the year. This year the club’s Law Enforcemen­t Appreciati­on Day was even more special because of all the outpouring of support community members showed in writing letters and cards and donating goodies for our local heroes.

Participat­ing in this year’s Law Enforcemen­t Appreciati­on were Calvary Baptist Church, Woodstatio­n Baptist Church, LaFayette-Walker County Library, Pleasant

Grove Church of Christ, First Baptist Church Wee Care, Corinth Baptist Church, Waterville Baptist Church, Rock Spring Baptist church, American Legion LaFayette Post 339, LaFayette First United Methodist Church Circle Two, Second Baptist Church, and H&R Sanitation.
