A Bluffton Community First Responders Appreciation Breakfast was hosted by Bluffton Middle School students on March 31. The event was heartwarming as well as somber. It marked the first anniversary of the line of duty death of Bluffton Police Officer Dominic Francis and it provided the students with an opportunity to express their appreciation to the men and women who protect our community as well as respond to emergencies on the roads, in workplaces and in our homes.
