The Vienna City Council meeting on June 26, 2025, featured a significant donation to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 79, aimed at enhancing community engagement through two key events. Kelly Davis from Sterling Packaging announced a generous contribution of $2,500, which includes $1,000 for a summer pool party and $1,500 for the annual "Shop with a Cop" program.
The summer pool party, scheduled for July 28, will offer free food and entertainment, fostering community spirit and connection. The "Shop with a Cop" event is particularly impactful, allowing local law enforcement officers to assist children from less fortunate backgrounds in purchasing gifts during the holiday season. This initiative not only provides joy to the children but also strengthens the bond between the community and law enforcement.
During the meeting, the council also noted that there were no public comments or unfinished business, and the minutes from the previous meeting were approved without corrections. The council's focus on community outreach and support for local initiatives highlights its commitment to enhancing the quality of life in Vienna. As these events approach, the council encourages community participation and support, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in fostering a vibrant community.
