The Port Angeles and Sequim Realtor associations are adopting first-responder groups in each community to say thank you to these men and women who risk their lives daily for their communities.
Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a proclamation June 18 making Tuesday, Nov. 30, “Day of Appreciation for First Responders in Washington State.”
The Port Angeles Association of Realtors will provide thank-you cards and baskets of baked goods to the Port Angeles police and fire departments, as well as to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Police, the PenCom dispatch center, U.S. Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security Air & Marine Operations and Olympic National Park rangers.
The Sequim Association of Realtors will provide similar gifts of appreciation to the Sequim police and fire departments as well as to the State Patrol and Olympic Ambulance service.
The associations are encouraging citizens to send cards or notes of appreciation to these first-responder groups and to show their support by displaying the American flag at their homes and offices.
