the Fire Relief Assoc., who has already approved 2 members, we have been offering to send up
to 4 members to the convention for the past 20+ years. It is a great opportunity for members
to get some new or advanced training. It also give them a chance to meet with other members
of other departments to see how they handle their emergency calls compared to how we do
them. They then can bring back what they have learned and pass it on to the rest of our
members.
