Firefighter
Association
One
of the most admired and appreciated functions of the volunteer
fire department is their Firefighters Association. For 50 years,
the 30-member group, along with their family members, has raised
funds to provide community support as well as buy equipment not
provided in the Township's fire budget. Last May, for example,
the Association sponsored the 50th annual pancake breakfast.
Events
such as these as well as the $5,000 annual donation from Spring
Arbor University enabled the Association to sponsor fire-prevention
programs as well as other activities like the After Prom party
in local schools, support the Little League and soccer teams,
the Boy Scouts, the Spring Arbor Township Memorial Day Parade
and assistance
to community members in need.
