Responding from 194 Pleasant Grove Road,
Village of Cayuga Heights
Dear Village Neighbor,October, 2011
Once again we are asking for your support of emergency services in Cayuga Heights in
order to help the Fire Company fulfill our mission of emergency operations,
recruitment and retention of volunteer fire fighters, and public safety education.
We remain ready to roll. Because of the transient nature of our population we need to
recruit new members of the Fire Department semi-annually in order to make up for
those members leaving town. In the past year, we accepted 22 new recruits. Another
dozen are just beginning training. This consistent training effort makes it possible for
us to maintain the highest level of community service.
We love what we do. Not only do we ask for your financial support, we invite you to
join us as a volunteer fire fighter. We’d love to have you join the team! Information may
be found at www.chfd.net.
This letter seeks support for the Fire Company. Your tax dollars support the
durable capital costs of the Cayuga Heights Fire Department, meaning the
community fire station, firefighting apparatus, and core equipment. The Fire
Company supplies secondary resources, such as fitness equipment, furnishings for
the station, recruitment and retention costs, event-related meals, and public
education materials for kids. Your generosity in the last year, for which we thank you,
made possible the replacement of three heavily used pieces of commercial grade
exercise equipment.
The Cayuga Heights Fire Company is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization on behalf of
which I am happy to send you this appeal. Please make your tax-deductible check
payable to Cayuga Heights Fire Co., No. 1 and return it in the enclosed envelope.
Thank you for reading this and for your support. When you need The Cayuga
Heights Fire Department, we’re here for you, in a fire or emergency medical
situation, at 9-1-1.
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Steven D. Felker
