CRIME STOPPERS LAYS A GOOD FOUNDATION

Crime Stoppers moved another step closer to reality this week when eight Cape Girardeau civic organizations pledged volunteers and money to the cause.

Those community-minded groups are the Cape Girardeau County Rotary Club, the Exchange Club, the Noon Lions Club, the Cape Evening Lions Club, the Excelsior Optimist Club, the Rotary Club of Cape Girardeau, the Cape West Rotary Club and Community Caring Council.

These organizations deserve considerable credit for taking a leadership role in establishing Crime Stoppers in our community. Surely more clubs and organizations will jump on this critical bandwagon in the weeks ahead.
