Letter to the Editor; First Responder DinnerDear Editor,

I would like to give a huge thank you to every-

one involved in the February 7 First Responders

Appreciation Dinner.

This was a wonderful dinner made possible by

the hard work of so many. A great meal was provid-

ed along with wonderful gifts that were donated and

very heartwarming stories shared of the impact First

Responders make in the lives of our citizens.

I was blessed to be in the company of the best

Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue personnel,

Emergency Medical Officers, Office of Emergency

Services and Communications Officers. To be a

sheriff with these type of men and women serving is

a true honor for me.

To serve with community partners that worked

so hard to put this together for us is a true blessing.

There were so many that give of themselves to

make this night possible and I’m afraid I’ll leave

someone out.

To Arkadelphia Lions Club, Patterson Credit

Union, Chicken Express and everyone that donated

gifts THANK YOU SO MUCH, for your hard work,

time away from your families and everything you do

for us. We appreciate you and it’s a true honor and

blessing to be your Sheriff! THANK YOU!

Jason Watson

Clark County Sheriff
