5th Annual Golf Tournament
 

2006 Annual Report
The Union County Chapter of the Firefighters’ Burned Children Fund, Inc. had a very eventful year.  Meetings were held monthly, sometimes two meetings in one month.  Our representative for the State Firefighters’ Burned Children Fund, Inc. attended the State Meetings; this chapter paid its $500 administrative fee to the State Chapter and presented all the quarterly reports in a timely manner, meeting the By-law’s requirements.

The Union County Chapter used Freddie the Fire truck® in fire safety education for various groups of younger children through schools and day cares throughout the year.

There were several opportunities for fundraisers, besides the can recycling campaign.  We held an annual Golf Tournament that was co-sponsored by Long Wiring Co. held at the Charlotte National Golf Course (located in Union County).  We provided lunch for the golfers and also held an auction for some donated items and drew for door prizes as well.  We held an annual Softball Tournament which is a competition between the fire departments.  We also handled the concessions during this event.  In November we co-sponsored a Bluegrass Festival and Gospel Singing.  We received all proceeds from the concessions, which we handled.  We get lots of advertising for this event, all over the country.

The Chapter helped two families that had survivors in the Burn Center for at least six months.  One of these survivors and family is now very active in Burn Center activities including Camp Celebrate.  Recently there was a fire that took the lives of two young sisters but left one other sister alive.  Everything was lost.  We are currently working through a family friend and the funeral home to assist this family with needs.

There are currently ten (10) can collection trailers throughout the county.  One is currently being fabricated for one of the elementary schools at the request of the school principal.  The students bring the cans to the school to be collected for the Fund.

During Camp Celebrate our chapter helped with Young Eagles Day at Asheboro Airport.  At the request of one of the staff members of Camp Celebrate we provided funds for them to purchase supplies for making crafts while at the airport.  We also fed approximately 50-75 people, (campers and staff and airport staff), lunch on Wednesday at Young Eagles Day.

At the end of the year, December 29^th, 2006 some of our members took a trip to the NC Jaycee Burn Center and presented them with an additional check in the amount of $12,000.

Report accepted by the Union County FFBCF at the January 25, 2007 meeting.  Submitted by C. W. Adcock.
