A True Community Effort: Eagles Nest Fire Flies Raise Over $1,400
The other day, while looking through some local weekly newspapers, I noticed an article about the Eagles Nest Fire Flies. The story said that this group raised over $1,400 to help replace and improve firefighting equipment for the Eagles Nest Township Fire Department. This fundraising accomplishment was the result of the organization's annual spaghetti dinner. These dedicated women, along with their husband volunteers, fed over 250 people in three hours! What a feat! What a commitment! And, that's not all. The Fire Flies also hold a yearly flea market, again dedicated to helping the fire department.
These folks are to be commended for their support and dedication. Sadly, $1,400 doesn't buy a lot of fire equipment these days, but that doesn't really matter. The Fire Flies are willing to try to help out and that's what it is all about. Every dime and every dollar raised will benefit the fire department. And, in the end, the entire community benefits from this untiring dedication! So Fire Flies! Keep going! Your efforts are paying off!
