(A slightly belated) Benefit Thanks

The Board of Directors of the Briceland Volunteer Fire Department would like to express our sincerest appreciation to all the wonderful people who made our September 11th Boogie such a successful and memorable event.

This was one of those gatherings that really underscores what a wonderful community this truly is. It was so much fun to mingle with friends and enjoy good food, good music and good company. It was wonderful to watch community members from toddlers to the older folks and everyone in between dedicate their abundant energy to making this one of the most positive local gatherings this community has enjoyed in a long while.

The sense of joy in community was very obvious and so was the generosity of all who attended, making this a very successful fundraiser for our local firefighters. So THANK YOU, one and all!

Of course an event like this doesn’t just “happen.” It takes a lot of hard work and dedication and we would like to thank all who helped in that regard. There are so many, so please forgive us if we don’t mention you by name. Thank you to:

Briceland Fire Joins The 21st Century

By Mikal Jakubal
This just went live after midnight on 9/11/10. I’m still actively working on it. There are some bugs and a number of design elements that need adding or adjusting, but I wanted to get it up before the benefit barbecue this afternoon. It’s simple. It’s a start.

Thanks to Penelope Andrews of Earth Gallery for putting together the header image at a moment’s notice.

You can follow @BricelandFire on Twitter if you have an account and you can “like” us on Facebook. There will be more Twitter, Facebook, GoogleEarth and other social media interfaces soon, along with an interactive calendar for department members, more photos, a roster so you can see who we all are, some cool stuff like plans for the new station, the department’s history and archival photos.

We’ll soon have an email signup form and a Paypal button you can use to donate to us. In the meantime, come to the benefit Saturday, have blast and help us keep our all-volunteer department funded and properly geared-up.

Oh, and if there are any WordPress whizzes out there, I have a bunch of questions at the code level that are way above this Luddite’s head at the moment. Contact me through the contact info in the button above or by leaving a comment here.
