All You Can Eat To Benefit "Big Al" / Girdletree Vol. Fire Company

From the Girdletree Vol. Fire Co., Inc.

Another one of our brothers is in need. Most of you know him as "Big Al", but to our membership he's also Allen Dryden. Long time Girdletree resident, friend of many and a previous member. Big Al has been in the hospital since late January and is currently in Manokin Manor for rehab.

 Al is in need and we are holding a Fund Raiser for him. The date will be Sunday, March 11th from 1 to 4PM at the firehouse. We will have an "All-you-can-eat"  Spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings, our popular "Cake Auction", raffles and more. Tickets will be available on our website. $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

Visit http://www.girdletree.org/ Please spread the word and if you'd like to donate a cake for our auction please call Tammy or Jeff. We are also accepting cash donation for him or to off-set our food cost for the dinner.
