A Successful 2007 Oak Brook Fraternal Order of Police Annual Fundraiser Dinner Dance   (Summer 2007)

We are delighted with the success of our 2007 Oak Brook Fraternal Order of Police Annual Fundraiser Dinner Dance. It is always wonderful to share special moments with such special people from our community. Great company, tremendous gifts, great food and as always the musical entertainment was superb and enjoyed by all. I think everyone who attended had a really good time. Kids In Need is so grateful for all your donations. We would also like to mention that none of this would have been possible without the tremendous support of our members, guests, partners and associates, who very generously donated their time, services and money. Not only did you do an outstanding job of raising money but you also made it look so easy! We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who played their part in making the evening such a success. A special thanks from Kids In Need board, staff and families for the energy and support of Mark Delise and family. On behalf of all the needy children in our area, thank you so much for your generous support. < FOP 2007 Pictures >
