FUNDRAISERS
Thank you to
everyone who supported our department in 2007 and made each of our fundraisers successful.
Here is a synopsis
of our 2007 fundraising efforts: the letter drive and business letter drive brought in $22,000.00 (a department record!!);
the proceeds from the letter drive, golf tournament, pancake breakfasts and other special donations allowed us to pay over
$35,000.00 on our construction loan this year (only $78,000.00 to go!!).
We are in critical
need of donations for our construction loan and general operations. In 2007 our department responded to 710 calls.
Our members work and train hard and interrupt our busy lives to ensure we can provide our much needed VOLUNTEER services
to our community. Our day-to-day operations are costly, so please help us help you.

The following
pancake breakfasts will be held at our station in 2008: June 21; October 18; December 6 (6AM - 11AM). Come out

juice and coffee. The cost is $6.00 for adults and $3.00 for children 12 and under. Remember to buy some stew
