A Tribute to the Ladies Auxiliary
A special thanks is is due to the members of the former Ladies Auxiliary. Though the Auxiliary is no longer active, many ladies gave countless hours to raise funds to support the fire department. These ladies prepared many
fund raising dinners, held the annual bazzar, and the once popular weekend hamburger & hot dog sales. Some of the
group worked together to make hand stitched quilts for raffle at the bazzar. One group of ladies in our early years did house cleaning, washed windows, and raked leaves to raise funds. Though no record exist of the names of all those who participated throughout the years, below are those I can remember (no particular order)

Pearl Barnette* Mary Flack* Anna Mottenen* Minnie Radford*

ALVIN ERNEST NANNEY
March 6, 1925 - September 4, 2011
Alvin began his service in July,1977. He served as Department Tresurer for many years. His later years were spent as Traffic Officer. During most of those years he was active in the Community Watch Program, and the Sheriff's Traffic Patrol. Declining health brought an end to his service December 31, 2010. When failing health prevented him from assisting with an alarm, he would often respond and sit in his truck and watch. Alvin's service and dedication will be greatly missed.
