LADVFACorner Greetings from the LADVFAPresident’s Hive

by Debra Lawhead, President LADVFA

Summer is right around the corner. Some of the auxiliaries take a break during the summer since the kids are out of school, but they are still there to support our fire companies when needed.

Recruitment and retention are going strong on both the fire service and the auxiliary side. It's so nice to see new faces. Welcome to the family! Those of you who have been in the fire service and auxiliary for a while, please take these newbies under your wings and mentor them. I had a great mentor when I joined.

The LADVFAState meeting was May 1, 2023, at Cheswold Volunteer Fire Company. I would like to thank my auxiliary (Magnolia VFC Auxiliary) for all the work that they did for the meeting. They are a small group but did a fantastic job.

Conference plans are underway for this year. We will be back up at the Chase Center the week of September 11, 2023. Future conferences will be held in the county that the presidents represent.

Do not forget to support all the fundraisers that are going on in all the auxiliaries, including the ones for the LADVFA.

Look forward to seeing some of you at CFSI dinner and at the county meetings. Many thanks for your support as I continue my journey. Stay safe!
