Race for the Cure

You may know that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. What you may not know is that you can help these women and thousands of others in the fight against breast cancer.

On May 9, 2009, we will be participating in the Komen Boise Race for the Cure with a great team of dedicated people- YOU!!! Join the fight by registering as part of our team or by supporting our efforts with a pledge contribution. The money raised through the Race will fund vital education, screening and treatment programs for underserved women in our own community and support the national search for a cure. We need your support! Every step counts! Go to www.komenboise.org and register as part of the: "Meridian Fire Ladies Auxiliary" team headed by Tristi Hendrick!

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday, March 28th, the First Annual Meridian Fire Department Easter Egg Hunt was put on by the Ladies Auxiliary at Station 5. The kids hunted for Easter eggs outside the station and inside the bays and goodies were enjoyed by the kids and parents! Karla & Verlyn Brower were also kind enough to provide an artwork table for the kids to color and paint at. Sparky (a big thank you to Jaren Jones) even made a special visit for the kids! We hope that this is the first Easter egg hunt of many to be enjoyed by the kids (and the parents) of Meridian Fire Department!
