By special proclamation of the town board, it was Volunteer Firemen's Recognition Weekend, in recognition of 39 years of service by the fire company. The entire community was in- vited to an open house and craft fair at the fire station on Saturday, an appreciation dance and recogni- tion ceremony that night, and a special recognition service at the First Baptist Church on Sunday. Regretfully, our firefighters were unable to attend that service, as we were called via mutual aid to assist firefighters in Mecklenburg shortly before the service was to begin. This was the first time such a re- coginition weekend has been held to honor our fire company, and it was greatly appreciated. Much time and effort is put into this organiza- tion by many people to provide the community of Enfield with its serv- ices, and as in any volunteer orga- nization, just a simple "thank you" can mean a lot. The fire company would like to thank the organizers, the Enfield Community Council and the Wom- en's Auxiliary, Town Supervisor Etta Grey for the fine words and plaque she presented our president, the town board, all of the retail es. tablishments that donated items t0 make it all possible, and all those who donated their time and energy to make it happen. The Enfield Volunteer Fire Co. wishes to "thankyou" for the "thank you"! Larry A. Saulsoiver
