Congratulations to the 2025 recipients of the Lillian Woods Scholarships: Katie Harvell, Jaimie Aguirre, and Courtney King. We wish them success to their educational pursuits.
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 more than 900 stuffies/blankets to 19 rural fire departments in our county.
