Dear Mr. Choi:
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the generous donation the Temple City
Chamber of Commerce made to the Temple Sheriff's Station Employee Fund .
As you know, a deputy's job is physically demanding . It requires deputies to remain in
the utmost physical condition to ensure their safety as well as the safety of the public
they serve. This requires countless hours in the gym to ensure their physical cond ition
is m aintain ed . The funds you donated will be used in the renovat ion of the employee
fitness center for the benefit of all station personne l.
On behalf of the men and women of Temple Sheriffs Station, thank you for your
generosity.
Sincerely,
JIM McDONNELL, SHERIFF
