An enthusiastic crowd of more than 100 members and guests attended the November 14th Annual Meeting and Harvest Dinner at the Rescue 5 banquet facility in North Tonawanda. The only business on the agenda was the election of Janice Bodie, Bonnie Bugbee, and Alice Roth to three-year terms by a unanimous vote of the members.
After a delicious meal by well-known local caterer, Jim Fingerlow, and a fascinating presentation on the history of Rescue 5 by Daniel Brick, President Alice Roth concluded the evening’s event with the presentation of the following 2018 awards:
Dittmar/Lloyd Founders Award:
John Slater
