Two representatives from a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution brought cookies to St. Bernard Parish sheriff’s deputies and fire fighters recently to thank them for the work they do.

Aileen Alfortish of St. Bernard Parish and Carolyn Morris of Baton Rouge said the DAR is celebrating its 125th anniversary and the national group had asked chapters to do something in their community to celebrate.

“We wanted to do this for first-responders for everything you do for us,’’ Alfortish said of the idea to bring cookies for officers and fire fighters.

The women visited officers and brought cookies at the Sheriff’s Office Paris Road sub-station, at the Parish Prison and at the Communication Division. They also visited a fire station to bring the treats to fire fighters.
