MARSH HARBOUR VOLUNTEER FIREMAN'S ASSOCIATION

Last month we promised to bring you an update on the donations drive on behalf of the Marsh Harbour Fireman's Association by Colyn Rees. To recap, Colyn Rees discovered to his dismay that the volunteer firemen were performing their excellent service to the community with a subsidy of a mere $200 a month for gasoline. Also, their equipment was antiquated and in need of repair.

Colyn Rees set off around Marsh Harbour and explained the position to his friends and local businessmen. He started the drive with a substantial contribution of his own. Within a month he had deposited over $25,000 to the Association's account, the equivalent of ten years gasoline subsidy.

The Volunteer Fireman's Association is extremely grateful to all those who contributed so generously, and to Colyn Rees who performed such a valuable service in bringing the plight of the Association to the general public.
