to the Miami Beach Police Department's Gang Unit for the purpose of purchasing much needed
"Raid Jackets" for members of the Unit.
A citizen of Miami Beach, who desires to remain anonymous, wishes to assist the Police

Citizen's Police Academy class that graduated on March 31, 1999.

the Joan and Stanley Worton Philanthropic Fund to purchase "Raid Jackets" for members of the
Miami Beach Police Department Gang Unit and accept the $500 anonymous donation to defray costs
of the Citizen's Police Academy Class that graduated on March 31, 1999.
