Our 5 Stones meeting this November consisted of a year-end review, a video montage of taskforce agency WINS over the past year, and a celebration of three award-winning community leaders.  Our Law Enforcement Excellence award went to Commander Turner of the Tarrant County Sherriff's Office, our Victim Advocacy award went to Chris Cage with Unbound North Texas, and our Community Impact award went to Lindy Borchardt with the District Attorney's Office!  Congratulations to all of our 2022 award winners!!!
