“The Brunswick Police Department wishes to express our deepest appreciation for your assistance during one of our darkest hours last Friday, April 18th. Our hearts are still heavy and we shall continue to mourn our HERO Police Officer Melvin Collins who made the ultimate sacrifice in a convenience store. We miss him, but are uplifted when we realized that our grief and concerns were shared by so many. We will never forget the kindness and generosity of the Two Hundred Club. You came forth with a helping hand in our time of great need! The Collins family greatly needed this financial assistance. Again, thank you for your concern for Officer Collins’ family. Know that we shall never forget your kindness. We find comfort in knowing that you and others in our community stand behind law enforcement and grieve with us over the loss of Officer Collins. Your club does a wonderful work and may God richly bless you and your members.”

“I want to tell you how much I appreciate your visit this past Thursday. Further, I want to thank you and the ‘Two Hundred Club’ for the very generous donation… The money provided will go a long way in assisting the family through a very difficult time. It is gratifying to know there are people, such as yourselves, who recognize the need to assist the families of fallen Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters when they need it most. As someone who has lost a family member in law enforcement, you know the misery and heartbreak that comes with the loss of one of our men. I am grateful for your kindness and understanding… Once again, Thank You and extend my gratitude to all of those who are part of the Two Hundred Club!”
