Jodie Meyer was recently diagnosed with cancer and had to begin chemo therapy. A BBQ was held and 10 of our members, along with Jodie, shaved their heads.

Chief Cord Meyer, Lauren Azevedo, Captain Matthew Sorochynskyj, Lieutenant Stephan Sorochynskyj, Micheal Schwarz, Tom Vitalano, Ian Heinz, Nick Cranstoun, Dave Cranstoun and Evan Cranstoun all donned a cape and braved the buzzer to support Jodie in her journey.

Thanks,
