Miracle workers

Officers from both the Plymouth Township and Plymouth police
departments again participated in their annual "No Shave
November" Community Outreach Fundraiser this year. Each
member of the department was given the opportunity to have a
beard during November / December for a charitable donation.
The donations were collected from officers and staff from both
departments. Township Police Chief James Knittel, City Chief Al
Cox and officers from each department presented the check to
The Miracle League of Plymouth Executive Director Stacey
Diefenbach for $2,150. The donation will be used for field reno-
vations, officials said. The Plymouth Township Police Department
is also accepting gently used baseball equipment at the front
desk of the station. The donated baseball equipment will be
given to The Miracle League of Plymouth for use by players at
the field.
