UPCOMING PROGRAM

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we welcomed Jeff Rountree of Hoods For Heroes, which is an excellent non-profit that assists in getting funding for the proper headgear for firefighters. He spoke of the troubling statistics that 70% of line of duty deaths for firefighters are not from injury, but from the cancer causing carcinogens they are exposed to. The cost of the hoods that block these carcinogens is very steep in comparison to the regularly used hoods, which only block out heat, and less than 10% of firefighters have the proper hoods.

JUNE GOLF OUTING

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at the Golf Club at South Hampton!

This course is designed to offer every golfer the appropriate risk/reward situations that challenge the experienced player and offer encouragement to the novice. Sixteen large lakes and over 60 contoured bunkers, in combination with meticulous landscaping, provide players with a superbly conditioned facility. The distinctive layout will test shot-making abilities and require the use of every club in the bag.
