On Sunday, July 11th we celebrated our annual PRPA Picnic. This year, the picnic was co-sponsored by the very prestigious HISLEA members. Our families and our supporters came out in full force. As always, all those law enforcement officers that we work with on a daily basis needed no invitation to come out and join us. We have always been about building networks and inclusion. Family and unity were the themes of the day.

A very special thanks to all of those volunteers that refuse individual recognition. This event could not have been such a success without all the hard work the volunteers performed.

The music was great, the clowns cheered up the kids, and the food was in abundance. We all kept our fingers crossed and the weather cooperated.

As expected, we conducted the formal drawing for the Ruger 380 pistol we raffled. We are pleased to announce that Marie Corso, of the 19th district (Chicago Police Department) was the winner, Congratulations and thanks again for your support. We also thank our raffle sponsor Ray O’Herron for their continued support.

Let’s share ideas for next years picnic, and let’s continue to keep families first.

Next year, we hope to continue and expand on the event. With the right vision and direction this can develop into a festival for the law enforcement community.
