Pay It Forward! Feed the Sun Lakes Firefighters

Charlene Clausen, cook extraordinaire, has volunteered her services not once, not twice but three times feeding the firefighters on First Friday.

Last February Sun Lakes residents kicked off a program to show appreciation to our local fire fighters who often go above and beyond the call of duty for our community. On the First Friday of every month local chefs (and I use that term lightly) purchase, prepare and deliver dinner to the crew at each station.

Kudos to the following residents who have given unselfishly of their time and talents to cook one or more times for our firefighting/medical crews at Sun Lakes Fire Department: Helen Abrams, Bev Bumgarner, Jo Birlin, Charlene Clausen, Dorothy Douglass, Judy Dwyer, Terry Finley and Gini Krahn, Janet Kilbreath, Adrian Kimes, Carol Mellinger, Lyn and Bill Munn, Louise Rodich, Linda Shanahan and Carole Vanjes.

We are looking for three more cooks to fill out the year, one on November 4 and two on December 6. You do not have to be an accomplished chef to volunteer. If you are willing to give back to the community by cooking a meal for the firefighters please call Linda Shanahan at 480-895-8922.
