Summary
Commissioner Tisdale presented a Volunteer of the Quarter award to Ron Compton and Commissioner Jones reported the fire association's dance raised $10,181, including a $2,600 bench sale and funds earmarked to buy first-aid training dummies.
Commissioner Tisdale announced the Volunteer of the Quarter award and asked Ron Compton to come forward; Compton accepted applause and thanks from attendees.
Commissioner Jones reviewed the second annual fireman's dance, saying about 60 people attended and the event raised $10,181 for the fire association. He highlighted a chainsaw-carved bench that sold to Diana Cook for $2,600 and described a bidding item for first-aid training dummies: the kit cost was presented at about $2,200 and bidding raised just over $2,300 for that item.
Commissioner Jones emphasized the community value of the event, noting volunteers' efforts and telling the room the fundraising would allow the department to purchase training dummies and continue community outreach and training. He said the association will aim for a $12,000 goal next year.
