NLAN: Follow-Up On "Shop With A Cop" Program

This is a follow-up to our Blog posting of November 22nd. You may have caught tonight's KTHV Channel 11 news report offering a review of the North Little Rock Police Department's "Shop With A Cop" program status. It was wonderful to see where both NLR citizen's and local businesses' monetary contributions have exceeded the initial program goals. This has resulted in an additional 25 children (was 50 now 75) will have an additional $50.00 Wal-Mart Gift Card amount (was $150.00 now $200.00) to shop with a cop for their family's Christmas gifts! The first of two shopping days was today - the second will be next Sunday, December 14th. We personally know of NLANders whom have made a contribution to the "SWAC" Program through Twin City Bank and as late as tonight they still are asking how to do it! Just stop in any TCB Bank branch office and they will take care of your request. Also Tommy can be reached through his personal cell phone - 366-4330 to answer any and all questions.

Way to go NLR Police Officer Tommy Norman! Your passion to give back to your community has caught on and only will set the bar higher in reaching out to more needy families for this Christmas and the next ones to follow. You and your fellow police officers are creating positive attitudes for both children and adults - a win-win situation for their future and ours.
