Alpharetta Rotary Supports Our PAL
Rotary goes to "Shop with a Cop"
At our December 5th meeting, the Alpharetta Rotary Club presented a $2,000 check to the Police Athletic League. Officer Jim Little, CEO of PAL, along with PAL board members Lynne Riley and Janet Rodgers, were on hand to receive the check.
The Alpharetta Police Athletic/Activities League is a nonprofit community based outreach organization created to provide a variety of services to North Fulton youth while establishing a bond of mutual respect, understanding and trust with the Alpharetta Police and community leaders.
The mission of PAL is to provide an environment of leaders building leaders using a 3 prong system of having kids teaching/mentoring kids under the supervision and in partnership with the Alpharetta Police Department and community leaders. The program builds on relationships as a means to achieve individual growth.
Members of the Alpharetta Police and community leaders act as a conduit to promote the success of all programs while "closing the gap" between today's youth and law enforcement. The Rotary Club of Alpharetta is proud to support the Alpharetta PAL.
