Yuma
Fire Department Muster
Five teams from
around the Yuma area competed in this year’s Fire
Muster held on Saturday, Feb. 24th. People of all ages
came out to have some fun while cheering for their
favorite fireman.
All ages could be seen in the concession stand that day,
as lots of food and coffee was served up. Special thanks
goes to Julie Ott, Manuela Ozuna, Cathy Padilla, Valerie
Bird, Lucy Padilla, Carla Waterford and Pam Green for all
their hard work.
Our little helpers also deserve a round of applause for
their contributions. We had helpers taking the orders,
getting the food ready, collecting the money, and
cleaning up the messes.
There was not one single complaint about the Nachos not
having enough cheese on them. Way to go Jessica and
Deanna.

Lynn Light worked
hard to update our WebSite (a task I was unable to
accomplish). When I chose to work in the medical field,
using all the medical terms and equipment could be
compared to learning a new language. But even that
experience did not prepare me for the challenges of HTML
or the effort it takes to tell a computer just what you
want it to do. My colorful language !X@L)^/ didn’t
help at all.
Thank you Lynn, for all your hard work ! ! !
 Happy
Saint Patrick's Day!!
