The Dalton police and fire departments will host a fundraiser dinner on Monday, Aug. 10, at the Dalton Depot Restaurant to benefit the Public Safety Scholarship Endowment at Dalton State College.
Tickets cost $10 each and can be purchased at the Police Services Center at 301 Jones St. or from any police officer or firefighter. The dinner, which begins at 5 p.m., will feature Flammini’s Italian menu items from the Dalton Depot. Curbside take-away will be available, or guests are welcome to dine in at the Depot. Musician Tommy Davis will provide entertainment from 7 to 11 p.m.
This is the second year that the city’s fire department and police department have hosted this event. Last year, the dinner raised more than $15,000 for the scholarship endowment.
“I know that our officers and firefighters work hard to make our community safer, and do their duty without any additional expectations; we appreciate the community support we have always received,” said Dalton Police Chief Jason Parker. “This fundraiser gives everyone an opportunity to participate in an endowment that will last for generations.”
The City of Dalton Public Safety Scholarship is part of the college foundation’s scholarship program, an annual offering of scholarship awards recognizing academic achievement and financial need for students at Dalton State College. In 2008, the foundation awarded more than $180,000 in scholarships to DSC students.
The scholarship will benefit dependents of Dalton police or fire department employees, or the dependents of retired DPD and DFD employees. A six-member committee (three each from the fire and police departments) determined the selection criteria for the scholarship. The scholarship is managed by the DSC Foundation, which makes all decisions regarding selection of the scholarship recipient.
