<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Hello GFVFD Members,</p>
<p>If you have not yet checked our Facebook page for recent updates, we have sad news that our faithful Fire Chief, Paul Mutschler, has stepped down from the Chief position. He has been a wonderful leader and a shining example. He will be greatly missed. It is his wish that this organization which he founded continues to thrive and help the community.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;"><strong>OFFICER ELECTIONS</strong></span></p>
<p>We will be electing new officials at our<strong> next meeting</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Saturday, November 6th - 1:00 p.m.</strong> - the barn at Greasewood Flat</p>
<p>All members have a vote so we hope to see you there!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FIREMAN'S BALL</strong></span></p>
<p>In addition, we want you to mark your calendars and save the date for the Fireman’s Ball. Our yearly event will be taking place the following weekend:</p>
<p><strong>Saturday, November 13th - 6:00 p.m.</strong></p>
<p>We’ll be sure to be back in touch with more details and the final location soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last note: stay tuned for photos coming soon from our successful summer events which helped Laura and Jess Hunter <em>exceed</em> their goal of $4,600 to be able to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-day Walk for the Cure.  What great news to get during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.</p></div>
