Good Morning Explorers and Parents

We have been requested to do a community service to the Local 5 and the Fallen Firefighter Memorial. Although the Fallen firefighter memorial is a Virtual Event this weekend, Local 5 would appreciate our assistance down at the Memorial tomorrow 09/17/2020 from 18:00 to 20:00. The Memorial is located on the corner of Hancock and Pikes Peak. Berghorst and Nocon are leads. Please let them know your availability. Do NOT go to the FDC no one will be there. If you have questions please let us know.

I need all Explorers to respond to the email so that I know your availability,

Sincerely, Shannon Jantzen CSFD Explorer Post 1894 Advisory Board
