Mason 5 Fire District held a meeting
last week to consider a maintenance
and operation levy, with plans to up-
date its aging apparatus with new fire
trucks, tenders, wild land brush trucks
and command vehicles. The district is
seeking citizen input before making any
decision to place it on the ballot. The
public is encouraged to contact the dis-
trict so they can see for themselves the
equipment that no longer is up to stan-
dards and cost effectiveness of the plan
they have put forth.
You've seen those collections points
for aluminum cans at all the fire sta-
tions and at Harstine Pointe. This is a
continuation of the efforts of our much-
missed good friend, Bud Glasser. Now,
Nick Neuerburg and Bud's grandson
are carrying on the tradition and here
is an account of their latest effort. They
collected $1,464.74. Then, they began
with the donations. They gave Harstine
Island Community Club $150; Theater
Club $100; Women's Club $100 and
the Grange $100. I will pest the rest
of their generous volunteer work next
week. Referring back up to the rum-
mage sale, just look at all the good that
comes from the volunteer spirit.
