Holiday Cocktail Party

Join us Tuesday, December 22nd at Pane E Vino Ristorante at Pinnacle Peak and Pima for our Holiday Cocktail Party.  We'll start at 5:00 pm and go until....well, until we're done celebrating!  There will be complimentary nibbles provided by the GFVFD and although drinks are on your own, Pane E Vino is offering happy hour prices all night to those attending.  Feel free to bring friends and family.  We hope to see you there!

Toy Drive

'Tis the season and the GFVFD Toy Drive is ON!  We're collecting new, unwrapped toys (in their original packaging) until December 23rd when all the stuffed animals, video games and toy trains we hope to collect will be donated to the Toys for Tots local chapter.  Collection bins are set up at the main bars of both Reata Pass and Greasewood Flat.  Toys for Tots will distribute all we're able to gather as Christmas gifts for needy children, so please help us fill those empty bins and remind us all that this is still the season of giving.

 

Food Drive

To continue the theme of giving we also have food collection bins right next to the toy bins at both Reata Pass and Greasewood Flat.  We appreciate any donation you can make of canned or boxed foods before December 23rd.  All donations will be provided to the Fountain Hills Chapter of St. Vincent de Paul who will help turn those cans and boxes into holiday meals for those less fortunate.  Let's ensure those tots and their folks can keep smiling even after they open their gifts!

2010 Golf Tournament: Shout out for Auction and Raffle Prizes

Hole in One, Russell Houston - http://www.russellhouston.com/index.html
 

We're already looking ahead to 2010 and starting to organize our annual Golf Tournament - maybe you'll take that new set of clubs you got for the holidays and come on out and tear up the course with them!  The GFVFD is about fun and giving, so we'll also have our raffle and auction.  All proceeds not used for tournament and lunch costs will go the 100 Club of Arizona who raises funds to assist our firefighters and public safety officers.

We'll be sure to post the details as we put things in place, but this is a quick shout out to start you thinking about anything you might be able to donate as a raffle or auction prize.  Raffle prizes are nice, small enjoyable items such as a gift card or small household item, while auction items are a little more coveted.  Please start thinking about it and if you have something to donate you can call either Paul, our Chief, or Joe, our Golf Tournament Chairman and let them know!
