Tickets are still on sale for the 2nd Annual City of Dalton Public Safety Scholarship Fundraiser Dinner at the Dalton Depot. The dinner will be held August 10th at the Depot from 5:00 until 9:00 PM. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the Dalton Police Services Center at 301 Jones Street or from any Dalton Police Officer or Firefighter.
The dinner will feature items from the Flammini’s Italian menu at the Depot. Curbside take-away will be available, or guests are also invited to dine in at the Depot. Musician Tommy Davis will provide entertainment from 7:00 until 11:00 PM.
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.
The City of Dalton Public Safety Scholarship is part of the Dalton State 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 employees, or the dependents of retired DPD and DFD employees. A six-member committee (three each from the Fire Department and the Police Department) 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.
