Sunday Pool Party

Sunday July 22nd - We would like to thank our District Business Administrator, Vivian Cottrell & Family for inviting the department to their annual pool party today. About 20 members and their family showed up and each and everyone had a great time. The food was well prepared as well as the drinks. The weather held up and became a perfect day for a pool party. Once again, thank you and hopefully we can be in attendance again next year.
