We truly want to thank all that Donated, worked tirelessly many hours, shopping, cleaning items and cleaning the station, putting great items together, setting up tables and chairs, taking down the tables and chairs, the organizing, the “fluffing”, dotting those “i’s” and crossing those “ t’s”, the cooking and the kitchen cleanup.

There is so much to do to put on an event, so much to do behind the scene. To make it all worthwhile for the Benefit of the Reason - Support towards Boat 6 and supplies to Boat 6.

We are a water community and you kinda need a boat. A boat that can carry out to an Emergency, to handle “that kind of water on THAT Emergency”.

Without your support it would be difficult to complete the mission. Sure, there are ways and means of funding, but if this amounts to helping and easing the function, we are glad we are tired the day after.

Thank you and we hope you enjoyed the great meal - it was a variety, the cake was scrumptious, and we hope you enjoy your new finds from the auction.

Many Hands Make a project go faster and smoother and not quite so tired the day after, so if you are looking to be Community Based, A need to support your Neighbor, Support in an Emergency, we are here for you. Our doors are always open for Firefighter’s, EMT’s and definitely Auxiliary members (yes, men are needed and welcomed).
Please stop by and check us out and perhaps you will leave a completed application.

Thank you and come join CIVFD & EMS along with the Auxiliary!!

Thank you again so very much!!

Till the next time! Bye!
