FIRE FLASH THE NEWSLETTER OF THE BLUE RIDGE FIRE DEPARTMENT AUXILLARY

Volume 19, Issue 3 June 2018

From The Treasurers Desk:

From the Desk of the Chairperson:

Hello, All!

It is hard to believe that it is July already and the 4th of July Sale (July

7th) is fast approaching. The Red Hot Mamas, the bakers and several

local crafters have been busy working to fill the tables with all kinds of

goodies, both edible and non-edible. Help is needed on Friday to set

up. Please be at the Fire Station by noon. Saturday help is needed

throughout the sale on the sales floor. Come and help even it only for

a couple of hours.

Chief Paine has advised me that a mail box will be installed at the

station by this weekend for AmeriGas customers to drop off their

delivery receipt or their Community/School Days receipt which is

attached to their bill. For every gallon of gas that you buy, AmeriGas

will donate 2 cents to the Auxiliary. If you have friends and neighbors

who use AmeriGas, but are not associated with the Auxiliary, ask them

to drop their receipts off also. It is a great way for all to support the

Fire Department. Remember that we need your original receipt, not a

copy. Please remember to get your dues paid by July 15th to get the

contract price on your gas. We need to send the current membership

list to AmeriGas by mid-July.

The Appreciation Dinner will be held August 4th at 5:00 PM. We are

again having steak or chicken. You will be asked to let us know which

you want by 27th of July. Mark this date on your calendars. We want

to recognize the contributions to the BRFD made by the auxiliary, the

Fire Fighters, and Emergency Medical staff.

Our next meeting will be held, Saturday, July 14th at 10:00 AM in the

Aux shed. I hope to see many of you on the 7th for the sale and at our

meeting on the 14th.

Hello everyone!

This is a BIG REMINDER that if you haven’t already done so, get your dues paid by July 15th. You will

not be eligible for the propane discount from Amerigas if I have not received them by then.

We will be putting the Cash Boxes together today for the Sale on Saturday. A big thanks to Mary Levine for

her help with this. If you would be interested in learning to be a cashier at the sale, please let me know.

Hope to see everyone there at the Sale on Saturday,

Cindy Perelli Treasurer and Membership Coordinator
