Optimist clubs say thank you

To the editor:

The Jay County Optimist Clubs would like to thank the citizenry of Jay County for taking the opportunity to encourage the show of respect for all the law enforcement officers of Jay County.

Optimist Respect for Law Week was an opportunity to say thank you to the officers of Jay County. We would like to challenge everyone to remember all officers every day for their service to the people of Jay County. Simply say thank you as often as you are in the presence of an officer.

Thanks also to all the businesses and people who participated during the week with free coffee and help with making the week a success: Richard’s Restaurant of Portland, Jinny’s Cafe of Bryant Pak-a-Sak of Bryant, Redkey, Portland and Dunkirk, Burger King of Portland, Bizy Dips of Portland, Circle K North and South of Portland, Wheel & Spoke Antique Mall of Portland, Arby’s of Portland, Village Pantry of Portland, McDonald’s of Portland, CountryMark of Pennville and IDC Restaurant of Pennville.

Thank an officer. Thank you Jay County.
