Our annual Appreciation Dinner, hosted this year by Bon Carbo and held at the Holiday Inn across from Wal-Mart, was an enjoyable get-together. The Italian Buffet, that auxiliary members voted on previously, turned out to be a good choice ... dee-licious! The room was set up with round tables with white tablecloths and black napkins - very elegant. The auxiliary purchased centerpieces of Kwik-Shot Soot Stoppers and small fire extinguishers which added a decorative "flare" (pardon the pun) to the tables, along with curled ribbon strips in red, black and yellow.
Spanish Peaks' Chief Mike Zanolini spoke a few words and gave awards and gifts to members of his team, as did Bon Carbo Chief MaryAnn Herzog to her team (Photo #1 shows MaryAnn on the far left with Mike next to her). Auxiliary members were acknowledged with certificates of appreciation for their many volunteer hours and dedication.
WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND DONATE RESOURCES TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND AUXILIARIES.
A special plaque (Photo #2) was given to Bon Carbo's former Captain, Liz Cedor, for her ten plus years of service to the community. In late August, Liz made the difficult decision to step down from the fire department. Needless to say (but it'll be said anyway), she is sorely missed.
During dessert, guests were asked to look at the bottoms of their chairs. One lucky person at each table sat in the WINNER seat and was rewarded with the Kwik-Shot or fire extinguisher to take home.
Come join our firefighters and/or auxiliary and be a part of the 2010 Appreciation Dinner festivities!
