ASSOCIATION THANKS TO THE A.B. SHAW FIRE AUXILIARY

At our meeting of May 15th at the Claverack Firehouse, we presented the A.B. Shaw Fire Auxiliary a
plaque in recognition of their unique unbroken record of annual donations to the Burned Out
Victims Clothing Fund since it started in 1986.  The Auxiliary has donated annually to the fund over
the past 21 years.  Association fund raising events, County Fire Companies and generous
community donations have raised about $75,000,00 for distribution to county fire victims.  The A.B.
Shaw Fire Auxiliary donations accounted for more than 11 1/2% of the total.

Pictured L to R are:  Karen Franceschi Vice President A.B. Shaw Auxiliary, Wanda Van Deusen Past
President A.B. Shaw Auxiliary, Dave Goold 1st Vice President CCFCA,  Ed Goldfrank  Board of
Directors CCFCA and Matthew Larabee member CCFCA.
