This is not an ASIS Greater Philadelphia Chapter event. However, because of the work the chap- ter has done over the years in the recognition of Law Enforcement, chapter members have been invited to participate in this Flyers game opportunity.

Not all squares were sold, so any blank square would be a win for charity.

It was heartwarming to hear as some members had to leave before the end of the game to say if their square was drawn; donate it all to charity. So, it was only fitting that a blank square was drawn. Collectively we were able to donate $350 to the 2014 MLC Certification Scholarship Program.

The Chapter would like to thank and recognize Panasonic for their generous sponsor- ship. Their sponsorship enabled the chapter to organize this event at no cost to the mem- bers that were in town and able to attend.

THANK YOU!!
