Mar 5th - "Sandy & Candy's Dream Team" held a benefit Basket Bingo for the Relay for Life Foundation. Irishtown Fire Company provided the meal services. "The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length." Proceeds from the Basket Bingo offset the cost of this event.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR PAST CHIEF 20

 

Feb 22nd - Irishtown Fire Company attended the funeral service for former Littlestown Fire Chief Micheal Sneeringer. "As the procession from Little's Funeral Home approached, the crowd of mourners grew quiet. When Sneeringer's casket, draped in an American flag, was taken from the back of an Alpha truck, the street grew quieter still. And as pallbearers walked slowly toward the church, the only sound along the packed thoroughfare was the echoing snap-snap of a camera's shutter, as Sneeringer's family led the way inside. "This is a tribute to the man," said Alpha's president, Tori Spangler, as hundreds of firefighters and friends walked into the church. "But nothing will seem like the same now." Quote From The Evening Sun Newspaper.
