The Byron Rescue Squad would like to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation to all those that came out to support us at yesterday’s Memorial Day Chicken BBQ. We live in such an amazing community and it is heartwarming to know how many were willing to help us with our fundraising efforts for a new ambulance, and of course, get a delicious meal too.

We would also like to thank those (members of the Byron Fire Department & the Ladies Auxiliary, members of the Byron Kiwanis, Starowitz Farms, Alabama Holley Farms, Our BBQ chefs, family and friends) that volunteered their time (before, during and after) to make this event possible.

Without each of you, it wouldn’t have been a success.
