LETTER OF COMMENDATION

Tuesday, March 01, 2016

Officer McGrath,

On Monday evening, February 29, 2016, at approximately 6:17 1 PM you were dispatched to attempt tolocate a medically endangered person. After gathering the available information and the possiblegeneral vicinity of the missing person, you began a coordinated search of a wooded area within East

Norwegian Township.

With assistance from a family member you were able to locate the missing person's vehicle. Your searchthen focused on the surrounding wooded area. During the search it was brought to your attention that

the missing individual was disoriented and collapsed as a resulit of a diabetic emergency. Your ability tocritically think in an expeditious manner caused you to sound your vehicle's emergency siren in an

attempt to notify the victim while you were actively searchinglfor his whereabouts. At the scene you

were assisted by Officer Knepper of Port Carbon and Officer Thorn of Blythe Township, In addition toyour efforts, I am also proud of the assisting officers who both serve the Saint Clair Police Department

on a part time basis.

Within a short time, the missing person was successfully located. It was learned when the individual wasfound, he was suffering from a dangerously low blood sugar IOvel. You were then able to guideresponding E.M,5. personnel to the disoriented patient. Shortly after, E.M.S, personnel transported the

patient to a local hospital for much needed treatment.

You are to be to be commended for your outstanding effort and attention to duty. Your actions

positively affect the quality of life of those you serve on a daily basis.

Sincerely,

Acting Chief of Police

Dear Friends:

On Saturday, March 26, 2016 the St. Clair Fish and Game will sponsor its 37th Annual Easter Egg

Hunt at 1:00 p.m.

Each year the major goal of our club is to make this event as exciting as possible for our children. To

make this Saturday afternoon special, it takes manpower and monetary donations.

Since the origin of the egg hunt, in 1979, many businesses and organizations have joined our efforts

to make this a fun-filled day for the youth of our community.

We would like to extend a special "thank you " to those who have donated in past years and ask that

you join us again this year. If you haven't donated before, we ask that you consider becoming part of

our team. Your donation will be a great help to us and the children of our area.

Kindly send your donation by March 21st to:

The Borough of Saint ClairAttn: Mr. Roland Price, Secretary16 South Third StreetSaint Clair, PA 17970

Dear Borough Officials:

Saint Clair Lions Club Foundation is a non-profit organization comprised solely ofvolunteers who take pride in helping our residents and making a difference in thecommunity. Our membership consists of the members in good standing of the Saint ClairLions Club. I am writing to request your consideration of a project that our Foundationwould like to complete in the Borough.

To serve ourcommunity byvolunteering ourtime and providingfinancial assistanceto programs andprojects thatbenefit thephysicallychallenged,underprivileged,elderly, and youth.

In the 1980s, Saint Clair Lioness Club partnered with Saint Clair Borough to installa Lions drinking fountain in John Siney Park. The drinking fountain resembled a Lions headand stood approximately 4 feet high. Due to weather conditions and subsequent vandalism,the fountain was damaged and eventually removed from John Siney Park in the late 1980sor early 1990s.

It is with hope and enthusiasm that we ask you to consider the addition of a newLions drinking fountain in Boone Park. The new Lion fountain is larger than the originalfountain created in the 1960s. The new fountains stand 5 feet tall and are proportionallybigger all around. The new fountain is also A.D.A. compliant which is a big improvementover the original design. The fountain comes with a high quality UPC certified SS Haws#1152 drinking fountain installed and ready for connection. I have included a brochure foryour reference.

These fountains are built to last! They are created with fiberglass and will easilywithstand normal wear and tear, as well as the occasional climber. The Lions are topcoated with industrial grade paint and clear-coat to ensure the finish will last for years tocome. All that is needed for installation is a concrete pad or sidewalk with waterline anddrain.

Saint Clair Lions Foundation will bear the cost associated with purchase andshipping of the fountain. We respectfully ask Saint Clair Borough to install and helpmaintain the fountain in Boone Park.

Saint Clair Lions Club Foundation is classified by the Internal Revenue Service asa 501(c) 3 qualified charitable organization. Our federal tax ID number is 47-3885254.

0Ve ruly yours,
