HOLIDAY UPDATES, UNION EVENTS, and YEAR-END HIGHLIGHTS

As we approach the end of 2024, I want to share some important updates, reminders, and a big “thank you” for all your hard work this year.

CHRISTMAS / HOLIDAY PARTY
Our annual Christmas Party is almost here! Let’s wrap up the holiday season with a festive celebration:

– Date: Friday, December 13
– Time: 8pm
– Location: 310 S. 62 Ave, Hollywood Fl 33023 (Adults only, please!)

We’re also looking for volunteers to assist Ryan Kennedy in organizing the event. If you can help, please contact him!

TOY DRIVE
Don’t forget to bring in toys for our Holiday Donation Drive. As firefighters, we serve our community every day. This is another way to extend that service and show the true spirit of the holidays. Let’s work together to make a difference—one gift at a time.

JOIN US FOR A FAMILY FRIENDLY CELEBRATION
We will be wrapping up our Holiday Toy Drive with a special event at Training, and we’d love for you and your family to join us!

Date: December 15th

Bring your kids along for this heartwarming occasion as we come together as family to celebrate the season of giving. At the event, we’ll be donating all the collected toys to a local charity, spreading joy to children in need.
This is a wonderful way to teach our children the importance of giving back and making a difference in our community. Let’s share in the holiday spirit together—hope to see you there!

BIOMETRIC SCREENING REMINDER
If you haven’t completed your biometric screening, don’t wait! This must be done to qualify for your FSA contributions. This process is fast and easy. I can be done as an appointment or a walk-in… more importantly you can do it ON DUTY!

WRAPPING UP THE YEAR
As we close out 2024, let’s celebrate our successes, stay engaged, and finish the year on a high note. Whether it’s through volunteering, voting, attending meetings, or supporting each other, your efforts make all the difference.
