On August 15th our department held its 80th Anniversary Installation of Officers and Awards Banquet. This evening was to recognize and award our members hard-work over the past year.

We recognized many members for their accomplishments as well as the time they give to our department and our community.

We want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to this year's Banquet Committee for all the hard-work you put into this fantastic wonderful evening.

We would also like to say THANK YOU to our Auxiliary for the outstanding support this year and for the wonderful gift of $13,500 to put towards new equipment for our new Fire/Rescue Boat.

This year's theme was "CASINO NIGHT".
