FCSO K-9 AXLE RECEIVES DONATION OF BODY ARMOR

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Axle has received a donation of a bullet- and stabprotective vest through the nonprofit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.

Geraldine Marsh of the Womens Balley Group at Grand Haven held the fundraiser that sponsored Axle’s vest, which is embroidered with the words, “In honor of Gabo, Marko & Tag.”

“This gives protection to K-9 Axle in the event of a criminal act and gives peace of mind to his handler, Deputy Beausoleil,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

A single donation of $960 sponsors one vest. Go to www.viK-9s.org or mail your contribution to P.O. Box 9, East Taunton, MA 02718.

SPORTFISHING TOURNAMENT TO BENEFIT DAV

The Flagler Sportfishing Club will raise money for Chapter 86 of Disabled American Veterans during the club’s annual fishing tournament this year, according to a DAV Chapter 86 news release.

The fundraiser will be held at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 21 during the tournament’s opening ceremony at the Palm Coast Social Club, 51 Old Kings Road, which will be operating under CDC health guidelines.

The money raised will help support the DAV chapter’s operating expenses, including maintaining its offices, according to the news release.

“The DAV has been especially hard hit during these times — rides are not readily available for trips to the doctor, volunteers cannot help vets with applying for benefits, and the list goes on,” DAV Representative Sarah Ulis wrote in an email to local media. “These funds are desperately needed.”

For information on the fishing tournament, which will be held Aug. 21-22, call 385-566-3612 or 386-585-0148.
