It's Muster Time In Yuma

This year's Fire Muster will be held on February 24th. The event will be located in the 100 block of Main Street and is scheduled to begin at 10:00am.

YFDLA will be assisting with the consessions again this year and we are asking for volunteers to man the booth. Set-up begins at 8:30am, with clean-up shortly after the completion of the muster.

Our next meeting is on Thursday the 15th of February and a schedule will be available for sign-ups. Anyone unable to attend the meeting can call C. J. Padilla with their availability.


YFDLA Shirts Available

Anyone interested in purchasing an Auxiliary shirt may contact Carla Waterford at 342-0612. The cost of the shirt is $6.50.


Bullfrogs Season Tickets On Sale

The Bullfrogs general manager Dave McDowell sold YFDLA on the idea of selling season passes for 2001. The passes consist of 15 general admission tickets, a value of $60.00. YFDLA will be selling the passes for $30.00 each. The association keeps $15.00 per booklet sold, and the purchaser can use that same amount as a tax deduction.

Season passes will be on sale at a separate booth during the Fire Muster. Anyone interested in helping Carla Waterford man this booth, please sign-up at our next meeting or contact
C.J. Padilla with your availability.


Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

Thanks to everyone's hard work and donations of tasty treats, our Second Annual Goody Baskets was a great success.

We put together and delivered a total of 15 baskets for operational and communications personnel. Half of the baskets were delivered the personnel working on new Year's Eve and the other half were delivered to the rest of the personnel working New Year's Day.


Volunteers Needed

Lots of activities are on the horizon and if you are able to help in any way, please contact one of your board members. We are in need of donated supplies such as cabbage, potatoes, corned beef, large cooking pots, and large serving trays, which are needed for the March 17th Saint Patrick's Day Block Party. Any Irish cooks in our midst are encouraged to help us with this project. After this event, there will be a pub crawl for anyone interested in participating.

YFDLA would also like to participate in the annual
Midnight At The Oasis. Manpower is needed to man booths at this and possibly the County Fair. Anyone with any information or suggestions for either event is asked to bring their ideas to our next meeting!



Happy Valentine's Day!!
