Throughout Lawrence and Douglas County, police officers and firefighters put their lives on the line every day to ensure the safety of our community and its citizens. The Valor Public Safety Awards program, sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, now will publicly recognize the selfless dedication of these brave individuals. “The prosperity and quality of life that Lawrence/Douglas County enjoys is due in no small measure to the selfless and courageous acts of our public safety and law enforcement employees,” said Cindy Yulich, Chair of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. “It is important that we, as a community, take time to recognize these brave men and women, many of whom volunteer their time to keep us safe.”
Agencies participating in this inaugural year of the Valor Awards include the Lawrence Police Department, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, Douglas County Sheriff, Eudora Police and Fire, Baldwin City Police and Fire, KU Public Safety and eight rural Douglas County Fire Departments. Potential honorees will be nominated by their respective departments and then selected by a committee of local business owners and public officials. The review committee includes representation from the Douglas County community and former public safety officers. “The heart of the Valor program is not just in recognizing our public safety workers,” said Yulich, “We understand the many sacrifices their families make as well.” To recognize and reward the commitment made by these families, all children of Valor Award honorees will be eligible for a one-time $1,000 stipend when they enter a community college, technical college or university. Information on the Valor Awards, golf tournament, awards ceremony and how to donate to this worthy cause may be found on the Chamber of Commerce website at www.lawrencechamber.com.

Howdy! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to
make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix
this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
With thanks!
Hello, its nice paragraph concerning media print, we all be aware
of media is a fantastic source of information.
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Cheers!
Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I
find It truly useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and help
others like you helped me.
I like it whenever people come together and share views.
Great site, stick with it!
I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets
I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and
was hoping maybe you would have some experience with
something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Hello I am so grateful I found your weblog, I really found you by accident, while I was looking on Askjeeve for something else, Anyways I am here
now and would just like to say many thanks for a incredible post
and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design),
I don’t have time to browse it all at the minute but
I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time
I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the superb job.
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but
I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though!
Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks
