Center Independent School District and the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors will hold an Appreciation Lunch for First Responders throughout Shelby County on Friday, June 5 between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the John D. Windham Civic Center.

Public servants and peace officers carry a responsibility for maintaining order, enforcing the law and protecting the lives and property of our citizens.   Often, service involves personal sacrifices and even personal danger.  The appreciation lunch recognizes the contribution law enforcement makes to the community.

Sponsoring the event are Specter, Inc., Portacool and McAdams Propane.
