The Snoqualmie Firefighters Association would like to thank all Valley residents, contributors and volunteers for their continued support and patronage through the years of our annual fundraising pancake breakfast and silent auction Aug. 15. This year’s event was a huge success with record-setting attendance.
The Snoqualmie Firefighters Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which supports Snoqualmie Fire Department with special equipment purchases, community events, public safety and fire education, human services assistance, scholarships in human and fire sciences, historic preservation and maintenance of Snoqualmie’s original Engine 1 and charitable donations.
We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to our family members and friends for their continuous commitment to the Snoqualmie Fire Department and association.
A special thanks to our generous contributors, Snoqualmie Ridge TPC, the Ridge IGA Supermarket, Krispy Kreme, Snoqualmie Ridge KeyBank, Snoqualmie Valley School District, Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, Duvall Firefighters Association, Sigillo Cellars, Dirtfish, Brown & Sterling, Woodman, Carmichael’s Hardware, SnoFalls Brewery, Northwest Railway Museum, Starbucks and many others.
We achieved a specific goal this year by “Thinking Green” an effort spearheaded by environmentally conscientious Chief Mark Correira and Lt. Brian Dillon. Snoqualmie Fire partnered with Waste Management on the event, to use only compostable plates, utensils, cups, placemats and reusable decorations. Our event’s waste was then able to be recycled, reused, repurposed or composted. With help from Waste Management directing breakfast patrons, we collected 401 pounds for recyling, and only 17 pounds of garbage – an incredible 96 percent diversion rate.
Thank you all for helping to make the Snoqualmie Firefighters Association’s annual event such a huge success!
