Johnny Sides, a Dallas native and graduate of Sunset High School, went to work for the Dallas Police Department at the age of 17.  Over the next four years he quickly advanced through the department’s administrative office and then applied to take the police examination at the age of 21—the minimum age required to attend the police academy.  No surprise to his classmates, Sides took on a leadership role by serving as vice president of his academy class while maintaining his involvement in the Dallas Junior Chamber of
Commerce as chairman of the traffic safety committee.  Unfortunately, Sides’ extraordinary service was cut short.  Twenty-one days after graduating fifth in his class at the Dallas Police Academy, Sides was fatally wounded as he and his partner confronted a band of criminals wanted for vicious crimes in four other states.  A few days later, on Feb. 7, 1951, Sides succumbed to his wounds.  Although he was a police officer for too brief a time, Sides has inspired countless police officers and citizens with his dedication, leadership, caring attitude and sacrifice.  A portion of the proceeds benefits The Assist the Officer Foundation (http://atodallas.org/).  This organization provides financial assistance to officers who are facing the loss of income due to a serious injury, life-threatening illness or other catastrophic event.

We will be meeting on the Founders Level.  Just inside the Crowne Plaza there is a spiral staircase and elevator on your left.  The meeting is one floor downstairs.

So, come prepared to see the layout of the event on the Founders Level of the Crowne Plaza Downtown.  Then our casino Vendor will explain the logistics and legal portins of the Casino.  Time permitting, after the meeting we will also do more of the JS Marketing Walk.
