GGFPD President’s Message |
|
Dear
District Members:
I am pleased
to report the accomplishments of First
Responder, FAN (Fill-A-Need) and GGFPD
Board volunteers in 2009. Their
achievements establish a foundation that
enables GGFPD to better perform its
Mission in 2010 and beyond. A parallel
Newsletter article outlines plans for
2010 and beyond. In both articles, you
see the results of a focused commitment
to the GGFPD Culture, Vision and
Mission. Beginning this month we will do
a better job of communicating results
through a monthly Golden Gate Fire
E-Letter. To receive The Golden Gate
Fire E-Letter, please send your email
address, name and address to:
goldengatefirenews@gmail.com
