       Our newest project is Comfort for Children in Crisis, which is a District Eight wide project. We met with the fire associations in our county to determine the number of annual events involving children and what they would want to have to give to the children. The number one item was a stuffed toy. We have distributed 360 stuffies to 18 rural fire departments in our county.
