Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Monongahela Woman’s Club, police officers in both Carroll Twp. and Monongahela will be safer and more effective.

Carroll Twp. police and Monongahela City police receive checks from a fundraiser.

The Club embarked on three fundraising projects—a Theme Party, sales of Sheetz gas station coupon books, and making/selling jars of jelly. The three undertakings produced an impressive total amount of $3,600 for a donation to the local police, which will be split at $1,800 each.

The Carroll Twp. police are considering investing the proceeds in either a hand-held ballistic protective chest shield, a bullet-proof Lucite note pad to hold ticket books, or a laptop computer. Monongahela Mayor Bob Kepics accepted the check on behalf of the Monongahela City police; he said they will be purchasing either a protective shield, communications radio update, or a coil of stop spikes, which are spread across pavement to deflate the tires of a fleeing suspect’s vehicle.
Both police departments expressed their gratitude for the considerate financial and underlying moral support of the Monongahela Woman’s Club.
