PSEA in the Community                        

The 2005 Holiday Season

PSEA was involved in several Fundraising events over the holiday season.  The following is an excerpt from Alaska Family Services:

This holiday season we had the pleasure of working with Rob Cox, President of the Public Safety Employees Association, as well as the following Alaska State Troopers:  Trooper Baker, Sgt. Shuey, Deputy Commander Hahn, Officer Harrington, and Trooper Nunley.  They made arrangements to pick up several young people, who have been victims of domestic violence, and took them out for a Christmas shopping spree.  The officers helped them purchase gifts for their families and even wrapped the gifts for them.  Later the young people were surprised with the gifts that the officers had purchased for them to enjoy.

and then....

AFS received the following message from Rob Cox, PSEA President, along with some wonderful photographs taken that day:

Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to some families in the Valley.  The Public Safety Employees Association (PSEA) members (Troopers) who participated, thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were impressed with the children they served.

Each child demonstrated that they were more interested in making each other happy than with what they may get themselves.  This made the experience that much more memorable.  Please relay our regards to the families and our hope that their Christmas experience was full of joy.  Thanks again for making this a great experience for all!
