Benefit Luau and Pig Roast for Retired Fire Fighter This Saturday

I just wanted to make every one out there aware of a wonderful fundraiser event scheduled for tomorrow. It is a luau and pig roast and the proceeds of this event go to the Don't Panic Foundation and to help pay for accommodations for Retired MCFRS Fire Fighter Mark Fisher’s family during his treatment at a Baltimore area hospital. His stay will be lengthy as he undergoes treatment for a job related illness.

The festivities start at 5pm at Fire Station 14 in Beallsville. See the flyer below for more information!

This is open to any and all folks and not just fire department personnel. Thanks to the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department for co-sponsoring this event!
