Dennis and Stacy have been residents since 2019, transplanting here from Newark DE. Happily retired professionals, Stacy worked at DuPont and Computer Sciences Corp and Dennis at Hilton Hotels and NCR Corp. They have a combined four children and five grandchildren and enjoy spending time on the water through their membership in the Freedom Boat Club.

They connected to the RBVFC through two RBVFC associates who happened to be next door neighbors. When those associates explained the need for community assistance Stacy and Dennis sprang to action personally donating to immediate funding needs, hosting fund-raising events, and now as founding members of the Ladder Society. Their dedication to local philanthropy shines through all the organizations they support, including Beebe Medical Foundation’s 1916 club and PaulKares Inc.

Joe and Larry have long considered Rehoboth Beach much more than simply a place to live—it is a community they are proud to call home. Over the years, they have become active supporters of organizations that contribute to the quality of life, vitality, and sense of belonging that make the Rehoboth Beach area so special. Their commitment has included support for local arts and cultural organizations, health and human-service causes, educational initiatives, and programs that strengthen and enrich the lives of residents and visitors.

Their connection to the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company became especially meaningful when they hosted a w**e tasting fundraiser benefiting the Fire Company. With tremendous support from friends and the community, the event raised more than $55,000 toward the purchase of a new ladder truck. Joe and Larry have great admiration for the volunteers who give their time and talents to protect the Rehoboth Beach community. They are proud to be founding members of the Ladder Society and to help ensure that the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company has the resources it needs to continue its vital work for generations to come.

Join us as we celebrate these remarkable community champions and thank them for helping secure the future of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company.

Kathleen and Mary have called Rehoboth Beach their home since 2019, moving from northern New Jersey. They are both retired Human Service professionals with MSW’s from Rutgers University. Kathleen was a hospital chaplain and retired as an end of life counselor. Mary is a retired CEO for a non-profit called Advance Housing which provides supportive housing to the homeless and adults living with a mental illness. She grew Advance Housing to a multi-million dollar organization with over 75 employees while managing $12 million dollars in assets and millions of dollars of government contracts. Mary has served on several non-profit boards and has worked as consultant. Mary is a competitive pickleball player and a humble woodworker.

Kathleen’s family history is filled with stories of generosity and service to those less fortunate, including generations of first responders. Kathleen is also an active singer and soloist with the Camp Rehoboth Chorus, The Alliance Singers and WomenKind, an a ca****la group.

After relocation, while researching various volunteer opportunities, Mary and Kathleen realized that while the area was in a massive period of growth, the infrastructure was sorely lacking. They decided to be part of the solution, rather than just the cause of the problem. They joined the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company in February of 2021 and put their skills to use. They invest their time and money in the RBVFC and are Founders of The Ladder Society. In addition to the RBVFC, Mary and Kathleen support CAMP Rehoboth and The Children’s Beach House as well as a number of animal rescues.

This week, we are proud to recognize the visionary men and women whose generosity helped establish the Ladder Society, the endowment giving program of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company.

The Ladder Society was created to build a lasting legacy of support for the RBVFC Endowment Fund, ensuring that future generations of volunteers have the resources they need to continue protecting our community. Through planned gifts, legacy commitments, and endowment contributions, Ladder Society members are investing in the long-term strength and sustainability of our fire company.

Over the coming days, we will spotlight several of our Founding Members whose leadership and commitment are helping light the way for others to follow. Their generosity is building the foundation of a program that will serve Rehoboth Beach for years to come.

Join us as we celebrate these remarkable community champions and thank them for helping secure the future of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company.
