The Guemes Island Firefighters Association Thanks You

I want to thank everyone who attended and supported the pancake feed; it was a great success. The association served over 200 people.

The pancake feed has replaced the rummage sale on the fourth of July as our fund raiser and we hope to make it an annual event with the community’s support. The association members and volunteers were outstanding: organizing, cooking and spreading the word for our first pancake feed. It wouldn’t have been a success without their help. 

The firefighters association depends on fund raisers and donations to support firefighters and their families in need due to injury and illness. In addition, the association will donate to local nonprofit organizations on the island that offer scholarships and assistance to islanders in need. Our local fire department, Dist. 17, is an outstanding company of volunteers that are well qualified to respond to medical, fire and other emergencies on the island and the fire fighters association is here to support them. 

Again, thanks to all that came to the pancake feed, we appreciate the support.

Jim LeMieux
President of the District 17 Firefighters Association
