Firefighters
and Cub Scouts Linked to Iraq
On the evening of
September 16th, in the basement of Saint Albert the
Great Church on Dorothy Lane in Kettering, Cub Scouts Pack 318
and Kettering Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 2150 join
forces to impact Iraq.
Firefighters of IAFF
Local 2150 donated money to Pack 318 to help their charitable
gesture of sending care packages to soldiers in Iraq.
The 50 Cub Scouts of Pack 318 chose to send canned
goods, perishable items, and more to the soldiers of the 1487th
Transportation Company. The
scouts also made a 40 foot banner thanking the soldiers for
all that they are and all that they stand for.
Firefighters
from Local 2150 were on hand to help make care packages and
present Cub Master Tom Hesse with a check for $350. IAFF
Local President Joel Busch said, “The Cub Scouts and IAFF
Firefighters are quite similar in that they both are great
proponents of charity and humanity.
It is well known that the Firefighters donate about
$20,000 annually to charities like MDA, the American Cancer
Society, the Burn Fund, and local youth sports as well as
their Christmas Adopt-A-Family; but many may not know that the
Cub Scouts participate in nature preservation, Christmas
Caroling to shut-ins, and their news paper drive.
“The first Saturday of every month you can find the
troop at Saint Albert the Great Church, at 3033 Far Hills
Avenue, between 8AM and Noon collecting news papers for their
charities and collecting aluminum cans for the IAFF Burn Fund.
It’s a great partnership,” explained President
Busch.
