| From the President |
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who participated in the 2010 June Open House. This was our first early year open house and I have learned a few things. Next year we may have it in the spring, cooler is better. I would like to say Thank You to Howard Ewing and Inez, of the State Fire Marshall's office, Captain Holly Trego of Cecil County DES as well as Katie Norman (MSFA Miss Fire Prevention 1st Runner Up), Ally Gregg (Miss Md. Fire Chiefs Association), Courtney Street (Cecil County Junior Miss Fire Prevention) and our very own, Miss Harford Cecil Megan Bicking for their support and hanging out with us in the heat. Also Thank You to the Cecil County Fireman's association for the use of the Safety House. It worked well and was very well received by the community.
I also would like to thank our firefighters and EMS personnel for all their hard work and dedication to putting on a great day. I think the community enjoyed themselves, and thats what the day was about.
Pictures will be posted in the next few days.
