“By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.”
– Helen Jackson
At the July POAT board meeting, Mitch Morrall representing the Orange Bowl Committee presented a check for $2,500 to benefit the POAT scholarship
funds. The Orange Bowl Committee has supported POAT in this fashion the past several years. We are extremely appreciative and grateful to them for supporting POAT.
On Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 9:00 a.m., the 9-11 Ceremony will be held at the Law Enforcement Memorial site in Tropical Park. POAT sponsors this ceremony every year in conjunction with Miami-Dade Fire
Rescue to remember and honor all of the heroes who were killed September 11, 2001. It is important that we never forget all of the heroes who perished that day. Please make every effort to attend.
