It was another successful day at the NJ State Firemen’s Home Association. Our fundraising has been going by wonderfully and we are ahead of our goals in preparation for our summer barbecues. We want to thank all those fire companies in Bergen County, who donated to our organization. Your generosity has helped us so much in this effort.

We are now planning our June and August barbecues and starting the plans for our Christmas party for the guests. There will be a lot going on in the next several months between the summer activities and the upcoming holidays (Christmas will be in nine months).

After our meeting was over, we went into the main room to greet the residents. We had an afternoon planned with entertainment from singer, Gigi, who is very popular with everyone at the home.

We gave our greeting and well wishes to the residents and let them know of our upcoming barbecues planned for the summer. Then the entertainment started. It was a great concert and everyone had a nice time. It was another wonderful afternoon from the Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association.

We are always looking for new members and any member of a Bergen County Firehouse who wants to help support our retired members of the fire service who reside at the NJ State Firemen’s Home in Boonton, NJ are welcome. It is a great Brotherhood and we benefit just as much as our fellow Brothers at the Firemen’s Home with these visits.
