We will be setting up a T-shirt sale on two Saturdays in February, the 5th and 12th, from 10:00 a.m. to noon by the La Honda Post Office. These shirts feature the new design by Lucy White that won our recent contest and have been very popular. Stop by and show your support for La Honda Fire. Short sleeve shirts are $25 and long sleeve shirts are $30.
In addition, if you are a member of the La Honda Fire Brigade, you can get a free car sticker. A member is anyone who has contributed at least $60 to the Brigade since January 2021. Please come by, say "Hi" and pick up your sticker and save The Brigade the price of postage. If you're not yet a member, come by and we can sign you up or you can click on the Donate & Membership button above now.
Thank you. Hope to see you on the 5th or 12th.
