Stand By Your Plan

This week’s program: First Responders Recognition, presented Steve

McGraw and Committee. This quarter, the Roanoke Kiwanis Club is

proud to recognize three very deserving local first responders. One of our

recipients, a firefighter-EMT, has repeatedly gone beyond the call of duty

on many occasions during his 14-year career, has risen to the rank of

captain in his department, and is a rescue shift supervisor. Another of our

recipients, an animal warden, developed a scientific way to reduce the

number of animal bites in her jurisdiction, and it proved to be so

successful that it was adopted into law. Our other recipient, a police

officer, turned a routine patrol - during which he recognized

three individuals matching the description of shoplifting suspects -

into solving numerous felonies and placing several similar new charges.

We are very grateful for the financial support for today’s program provided

by ServPro of Roanoke.
