On October 3rd Concord Rescue Squad had a great day at the Crew Hall. We held our annual Brunswick Stew sale along with a small silent auction, baked goods sale, Tee shirts sale and ticket drawing for winners of our annual raffle.

To our community:
Your generous financial support is essential to our continued prosision of service. Support this year, as in the past ,was great. We had numerous delicious breads,cookies,pies and cakes. Those baked goods, several Tee shirts and excess of 600 quarts of stew were pirchased. (Thanks also to those who sent the many positive stew comments.) Our silent auction went well with many lucky buyers getting some true bagrains, Five lucky winner's raffle tickets were pulled, at ramdon, for a total of $1,500 in winnings.

To Area Business and other special supporters:
Many of the business that provide and service to us all, also support our squad in sponsoring our raffle or providing items for the slilent auction. One private citizen also provided several of the nice auction items. Our Thanks go out to all of these. many long hours go into the needed fund-raising efforts. We are blessed to have a number of special workers. "Community Supporters," who worked through the year beside the vrew members. These individuals sell raffle tickets, manage event work stations, stir stew, cook fish & shrimp, flip pancakes and help clean up after events. All of this recognized and appreciated.

To Our Rescue Squad Members:
Last Saturday and many weeks leading to it demanded a substantial effort. You all know what work and sacrifices you had to make. Focusing, at this time, on the last two days those heavy stew pots were moved into the crew-hall and set up. Tables, chairs, auction items, stations for Tee shirts, baked goods, stew sales were all put in place. Some of this prep work started earlier Friday and was completed early Saturday Morning. Stew cooking started late afternoon/ early evening Friday and continued through the night. Several Squad members," Community Supporters" and family members worked continuously through the night and all day Saturday. Many worked most of the night and returned early Saturday. Few got a full night's sleep. Those involved included our youngest/ newest member (just voted in this week), some members having served since the 1970s and those all in between. We responded to several rescue calls during this time. The high level of cooperation, attention to work at hand and plesant attitudes displayed, especially after long hours and little sleep, was noticed and much appreciated.
Visits from prior members's family (children, spouces, parents and grandparents) along with the many long-time community friends were especially pleasant.

Thank you all for a successful and pleasant day.
