Thank you to Sturgeon Bay High School Student Council for providing the department some treats and Mrs. Richard's 4th grade class at Sunrise Elementary School for some appreciation cards.
Several other citizens and businesses have sent goodies and thank you letters to the Department, and your expression of gratitude is noticed and appreciated.
