SEYMOUR – The Board of Police Commissioners and the Seymour Police
Department have donated $1,000 to the Seymour Remembers Committee, which plans
Seymour’s annual Memorial Day parade.
Police Chief Michael Metzler stopped by Town Hall Wednesday
and hand-delivered the check to First Selectman Kurt Miller.
Metzler brought a request to the Board of
Police Commissioners at its Monday meeting to make a donation
of funds gathered from their clothing donations boxes. It was approved unanimously.
“We decided as a department that we wanted to
give back to the Town because they’ve done so much for us over the years," Metzler said.
"We thought this was a great way to do that and honor the veterans who have fought for our freedom at the same time.”

Al Yagovane, chairman of the Seymour Remembers Committee,
has been requesting donations for the past several months because donations have
declined over the past few years. Of the
donation, Yagovane said, “The Committee would like to thank the Chief of Police
and his staff who donated to the Seymour Memorial Day Parade Committee. It’s greatly appreciated.”
Although many generous donors have contributed including the Seymour Police Department, the Committee is still seeking donations of any denomination.
Anyone interested in making a donation should send checks made out to
the Seymour Memorial Day Committee to the First Selectman’s Office at Town
Hall.
