Membership, Retirees and Friends,
I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude to all who contributed to the Local S-6 Hot Dog Luncheon and MDA Bake Sale. This event has become the de facto annual AFD/Local S-6 family reunion. However, as much fun as we have, it is an absolute ton of work.
There is so much that goes into event preparation; from purchasing the food & beverages (DOUG!!!), advertisement, set up, serving and take down (B-SHIFT!!!), it is labor-intensive. Additionally, without the bake sale contributions, we wouldn’t be able to raise money for the kids who are battling muscular dystrophy.
Because of your generosity, we raised $1,191.56 for MDA. Incredible! It really is something to see what we accomplish when we come together for a common goal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Team work makes the dream work,
Jen Toavs

Dear Team,
I am thrilled to announce that Josh Renneke has been selected for the Fire Inspector (Fueling Operations) position at AFD. With over 18 years of experience as an Assistant Chief of Operations, Fire Captain, Driver, and Firefighter, Josh brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this role. His meticulous attention to detail, comprehensive understanding of fueling operations, and executive-level leadership skills will undoubtedly benefit our department as we work to enhance and expand the Fuel Operations Inspection program.
Please join me in congratulating Josh on his well-deserved appointment.
This selection will result in additional personnel changes in the coming weeks and months. The chiefs and I will keep the department informed as we progress through these changes.
Respectfully,
Fire Chief Mark Watczak

We’re hitting the streets to do it again, and while we’re out there, you can help us fill our boots online.

Membership & Retirees,
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve placed a blanket order and with all the new hires, now is a good time to place another. Pricing is dependent on the total quantity we order, and to make it worthwhile, we need at least 12 orders to make this happen.
In speaking with Logo Knits, they said there's no problem fulfilling our order in time for Christmas if we get it in by Tuesday 1st October.
With that in mind, I’m going to make the deadline to order:
Monday 30th September
Please email me with quantity and if you want the custom embroidery option:
type it out EXACTLY how you want it to appear on your blanket: capitalized, not capitalized, etc…
We will be sticking with the 63" x 90" blanket like the previous order (this size fits our bunks best). I will not be collecting payment until our order arrives. Please see the attached sheet for more info and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email or text me.
Thanks,
Bob Cooper
