Don Winslow To Speak At Friends Of The Library Annual Meeting - Saturday
Page 13
New Fire House, Weeks Away From Grand Opening
Chief Marinelli and architect review progress on new station The Julian Fire Plugs and Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection District are planning an Open House for the new fire station (completion expected mid-March and move-in scheduled for first week in April) on Saturday, April 22. Our official program will begin at 11:00 am to acknowledge major donors, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Starting at Noon, the volunteer firefighters will grill hamburgers and hot dogs and a local band will play music. All is free and we hope residents will join us to celebrate and tour the new fire station. Everyone has received a letter from JCFPD requesting donations to help complete and furnish the new station. If you donate $250 or more, you will receive an engraved leaf on our new Donor Tree. This process takes a couple of weeks, so if you want to see your leaf on the tree at the open house, do not delay in sending in your donation form. Also, another way to donate (especially if you like shopping) is to purchase a house warming gift from the Target Store Gift Registry. Simply go to: www.jcfpd.com and click on the Target icon. You will see all of the items that are needed, but you can also choose gifts you think would make the new station comfortable for the volunteer firefighters and paramedics. Thanks to everyone who has sent in donations. Your generosity is appreciated.
