Firefighters and Operation Warm
Our Own member, Ron Rasmussen representing  the Lake Stevens Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 3025 on Operation Warm.
Our local firefighters are responsible for protecting our lives and property when in danger or harms way. Plus, the Lake Stevens Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 3025 is deeply involved in Operation Warm and giving back to the community.  What is Operation Warm?  Founded nationally in 1998, Operation Warm works directly with a manufacturer in Corbin, KY to create a line of high-quality, colorful USA made winter coats made just for kids! Nationally, their mission/goal is simple, "to provide new winter coats to children in need."
 
In 2016, the Lake Stevens Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 3025, provided the gift of warmth to 42 local children. In 2017, they almost doubled their impact. In 2018 they look to build on that result. In the United States, Firefighter organizations that partner with Operation Warm have served over 250,000 children nationwide, held thousands of coat giving events, supported over 400 jobs for Americans and these firefighters both locally and nationwide have gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve their communities.
 
To raise funds for Operation Warm two auctions are being held with one expiring today, 9/11. The other auction started on August 28th and ends on September 20th. That auction includes two tickets for the September 23 & 24th Mariners games against the Cleveland Indians with parking passes for each game. The seats are Charter seats in Row 2, Section 119 on the first base line.  GIVE THE GIFT OF WARMTH TODAY: OPERATIONWARM.org/LakeStevens.
 
Thanks Ron for informing our Club about Operation Warm and the great community work our firefighters are doing!!!

September 11th Remembrance Service
 
On Monday, September 11th, American Legion Post 181 hosted a Remembrance Service at Lake Stevens Fire Department Station 81 in downtown Lake Stevens. Speakers included Mayor John Spencer, Police Commander Jeff Beazizo, Fire Chief Kevin O'Brien, former American Legion Washington State Commander Loren Sperry and about a dozen 4th grade students from Mount Pilchuck Elementary. The students each briefly shared their definition of a hero. Many mentioned their parents who serve in the military or are police officers and firefighters.
 
Many community members attended including Rotarians and Kiwanians. Savannah A, a student at Cavelero Mid High sang the national anthem. The ceremony concluded with the long-standing fire service tradition of the ringing of a fire bell. The bell was rung in a series a five rings repeated five times to represent the thousands of people that lost their lives 16 years ago in New York City, Washington, D.C. and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Thought of the Week - Who Said It?
"Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out."
