Date: Tuesday, August 6, 2002

Time: 9:30 a.m.

Location: Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla St.

Flag Room – 6EN

Details: As the result of a fundraiser held earlier this spring, the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance will make a donation to Dallas Fire-Rescue and the Dallas Police Department. Each department will receive a check for $5,000 that will benefit the Dallas Fire-Rescue Emergency Relief Fund and the Widows and Orphans Fund of the Dallas Police Department. Fire-Rescue Chief Steve Abraira and Police Chief Terrell Bolton will accept the donations for their respective departments.

The DCMSA was founded in 1917 and is one of the oldest community service organizations in Dallas. As a non-profit organization, DCMSA works in the community to improve health, health education and related programs, and its membership is open to spouses of Dallas County physicians. This year’s fundraiser, Champions for Good Health Awards Luncheon and Fashion Show Honoring the Heroes Among Us, was held at the Anatole Hotel on March 8. Some of the award recipients this year included Ross and Margot Perot, Dr. Theodore Votteller and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.
