Final Fling of Summer - Today was the first of many Third Battalion Emergency Service family events. This first event at Sea Breeze Park brought together a variety of Emergency Service personal and their families to enjoy a day sun, fun, rides and waterslides, All the Food you could Eat and a very pleasant way to end the summer. I would like to Thank David Garner Garner-Allsopp and his family for making this first event such a success.
If you weren't able to join us today, please talk to one of the people who attended this event and find out what a Great time everyone had, so you can be part of the fun next time.!
Third Battalion Emergency Service Family Social events - It is the goal during this next year to have a event during each of the quarters of the year. Please watch this newsletter or your agencies bulletin board for these events. These events are planned with two (2) purposes in mind. The first is to provide a opportunity to include our families that helps support us daily, while we are assisting in the community and Thank them for this support. The second is to allow a non-emergency situation for EMS, Police and Fire personal to socialize and get to know each other, which will help make a Emergency Situation run smoother.
The ideas that are being considered are a Haunted Hayride, Swim-Gym Fun night at a local Recreation Center, Red Wings Game and another Sea Breeze day next summer.
