Support Grows for DSC Scholarship Fund

Support is growing for the fund-raising efforts of the Dalton Police and Fire Departments' scholarship endowment at Dalton State College.  On Monday, Mr. Larry Harrison donated a check for $500 from the Kiwanis Club of Dalton in advance of the August 11th fund-raiser dinner.  This latest donation adds to the support the departments have already gotten from area businesses like the Dalton Depot Restaurant and Trackside Cafe which is hosting the fund-raiser dinner.

Proceeds from the fund-raising effort will go to the Dalton State College Endowment for a scholarship which will be awarded to one child of a Dalton Police Officer and a Dalton Firefighter to attend Dalton State College each year.  Dalton State College will administrate and award the scholarship.

The Firefighters and Police Officers of Dalton Scholarship Benefit Dinner will be held August 11th from 5:00 until 9:00 pm at the Dalton Depot Restaurant and Trackside Cafe, and tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased from any Dalton Police Officer or Firefighter, and are also available at Police Headquarters at 301 Jones Street.
