MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT
HEALTHY KIDS DAY

And the BIG WINNER of the YFDLA Health and Safety Basket is...
8 year old Daniel Linares, a third grader from Alice Byrne Elementary School

On Saturday October 13th, the auxiliary manned a booth at the third annual "Healthy Kids Day" event held at YFD station #1.
A beautiful, red basket containing games, coloring books, crayons, bubbles, healthy snacks, outlet plugs and lots of goodies to promote health and safety was made by Cheri and Laurie Allen. From 10:00 am to 1:30 pm, each child was given a ticket to enter in the raffle. At 1:30 Deanna drew the winning ticket #0348606. The winner, 8 yr old. Daniel Linares is a third grader from Alice Byrne Elementary School.
Thanks to all the members that helped with the booth, basket, and poster. Next year we can make it bigger and better!!!

IT'S A MEMBER'S MOMENT

Our very first membership spotlight is shining on Julie Ott. Julie is the wife of Daniel Ott, an Engineer working on A-shift (station 5) What color is that?
This is the Ladies Auxiliary's third year of operation and Julie has been with us since the beginning. Last year she served as our historian and was present at most of our functions and a big supporter of all of our fundraisers. During last year's Taco Roll, we received several large boxes full of donations given by Julie and her friends. The donated toys, clothing and baby items were given to our adopted Families for the Holidays.

Julie is a Registered Nurse at Y.R.M.C. and the mother of two beautiful children; 6 year old Richard and 5 year old Mackenzie. Julie can always be found with both her children at our functions; serving drinks at the Firemen's Muster, working the food booths or helping with the Annual Goodie Baskets.

Julie juggles a hectic schedule of work and play with her family and friends. In her spare time, Julie enjoys reading and surfing the internet.

It's Time to start Counting your Blessings

The Ladies Auxiliary is sponsoring a needy family this year and would like your help! YFDLA is purchasing a pre-prepared Thanksgiving feast for a family we have selected and anyone interested in adding any homemade goodies, please contact any one of the board members.
