CHARLOTTE NC – The Charlotte Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police
Lodge #9 will hold its annual "Back To School Shop with a Cop" on
Saturday, August 29, 2009. This year's event will be held at the
Target Store located at 8120 University City Blvd. beginning at 9:00 am.
The Fraternal Order of Police takes kids shopping as the school year
begins to help them with school supplies and back to school clothes.
All the kids are referred to the FOP though various community
resources. We hope that by helping them with purchases of school
supplies and clothing the start of the school year will be a
successful and they can begin on a positive note.
Randy Hagler, Lodge #9 president notes "Each year the program grows
and it's a great opportunity to see the kids warm up to the officers
by the end of the shopping experience."
"Back To School Shop with a Cop" would not be possible without
contributions from the community to the Charlotte Mecklenburg
Fraternal Order of Police throughout the year. Thank you for your
support!
