EMPHASIS: Troop I And Colton's Of Rolla Team-Up For SOMO

Captain James W. Remillard, commanding officer of Troop I, would like to invite the public to help the troopers and employees of Troop I raise money for Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO) athletes, by participating in a “Tip-A-Cop” event on Thursday, November 20, 2014. That evening, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., Troop I officers and other Patrol employees will be serving at the Colton’s Steakhouse and Grill, 1675 N. Bishop Avenue, Rolla, MO. In addition to volunteering their time, the Troop I employees will donate all the tips they receive to SOMO. Colton’s graciously has agreed to donate 10 percent of their gross sales for the entire day to this worthy cause.

Captain Remillard stated, “I would first like to take this opportunity to thank Colton’s for their generous donation to these athletes and for giving us their valuable time to help raise money for these individuals. Everyone deserves the chance to strive for and accomplish a goal in his or her life and Special Olympics provides just that for countless numbers of children and young adults. We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening at Colton’s.”
