2014 Hotshot and Helitac Crew Appreciation Dinner

Volunteers Needed!

Every year FOMP holds a potluck dinner for the Hotshot and Helitac crews that are based right here with us! This year it will be held Thursday April 24, at 5:30PM in the Fire Center Classroom building in the administrative area of the Preserve.

Both the the Monument Hotshot Crew and the Monument Helitack crew will be there, so we expect 30 very hungry young men and women + anyone else that attends. Everyone knows how hard they worked last year helping fight fires right here in Colorado and we want to give them a big welcome back and remind them of our appreciation. We need volunteers to make food for this potluck and need the following:

  • Drinks
  • Main Dishes
  • Side Dishes/Salads
  • Desserts

If would like to help, please contact Marianne LaRivee at 719-481-5936 / dmlarivee@comcast.net or Diane Bandle at 719-494-8206 /dmbandle@hotmail.com. If you want to help but are unable to attend you can make arrangements to drop off your food in advance on Thursday afternoon, or at the Fire Center Classroom between 4:30 and 5:30.

Thanks in advance for your help!
