Auxiliary Members Assist in
MDA Fundraiser and Fire Ops Event
 

Happy 8^th Anniversary Fully Involved!  This all started from an idea from the
PHFR Island Party and formed after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. 
This tragedy gave us the strength to form and do positive things. 
A special thanks to Chief Angle for supporting Fully Involved from the very beginning. 
This group has done so many wonderful things over the past 8 years to support our department, firefighters, community, each other and our second fire department family. 
A big heartfelt “Thank You” to all auxiliary members past, present and future
for all that you do to make a difference! 

Fully Involved enjoyed helping out with the Fire Ops class with the Clearwater Auxiliary. 
It was our first opportunity to do this and hope to make it an annual event. 

 Fully Involved also participated with the registration for the MDA Golf tournament. 
As always, it was a great event.  Thank you for including us!

 If you get an opportunity this month, thank an auxiliary member for all they do! 
We look forward to many more years!  Our next meeting is Tuesday, July 6^th at
Station 65 at 7 pm.  Come make a difference with us and get “Fully Involved”!

Fully Involved Making a Difference

On October 25, 2009 Fully Involved made a difference by providing lunch
at the Ronald McDonald House.  It was a great day to pay back and
assist those in difficult times because of caring for their sick children.
It made everyone of us realize how lucky we are to have our loved ones healthy.

September 11th Annual Memorial Dinner 2009

September 11, 2001 changed all our lives 8 years ago.  From these tragic events,
Fully Involved formed and wanted to make positive changes.  Each year we
keep trying to make a difference!  Each auxiliary member brings something
special to the group and together we do amazing things!  Our annual 9/11 Memorial
and Appreciation event is always close to our hearts.  We will never forget! 
This year we are grateful to Carrabbas for donating dinner and dessert
for all three shifts.  Everything was delicious and perfect. 
We also want to thank everyone that came on his or her own time as
the firefighters and auxiliary enjoy seeing you! 
Time together is precious, as we don’t know what tomorrow may bring….
