way to recount the man-hours put into this Company in service and fund-raising by the active members, Ambulance crew and Fire Police. Dedicated members are on call twenty-four hours a day, year round. Loss of sleep, holiday, family, and worth time, the danger, smoke inhalation, and injuries mean nothing when the Company has saved a life or minimized fire damage. Even when lives and property have been lost, the Company has done its very best with the courageous and dedicated professionalism for which volunteers are known.

From the first fair and help on the bucket brigades in 1888, to the fairs, bingo games, covered dish suppers, catered dinners and bake sales today, the women of Malvern have been significant contributors of money, equipment and work to the Company. No one could possibly count the cups of coffee, doughnuts, casseroles, hams, pancakes, hot dogs, sodas, bingo games and dirty dishes the members of the Ladies' Auxiliary have taken care of with so much enthusiasm and commitment year after year.

There are so many bonds that tie al! of these volunteers together—bonds of dedication, fund-raising, pride, service to people in emergency situations, danger, and memories.

Nancy B. Schmitt, Chairman
