It was another successful day at the NJ State Firemen’s Home Association. Our fundraising efforts have been going wonderfully, and we are ahead of our goals as we prepare for our summer barbecues. We want to thank all the fire companies in Bergen County who donated to our organization—your generosity has greatly helped us in this effort.

We are currently planning our June and August barbecues and have also begun preparations for our Christmas party for the residents. There’s a lot coming up in the next several months, between summer activities and the holiday season (Christmas is only nine months away!).

After our meeting, we gathered in the main room to greet the residents. We had a special afternoon planned, featuring entertainment from singer Gigi, who is very popular with everyone at the home.

We shared our greetings and well wishes with the residents and informed them about the upcoming summer barbecues. Then the entertainment began. It was a great concert, and everyone had a wonderful time. It was another fantastic afternoon with the Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association.

We are always looking for new members. Any member of a Bergen County firehouse who would like to help support our retired brothers in the fire service residing at the NJ State Firemen’s Home in Boonton, NJ, is welcome to join us. It’s a great Brotherhood, and we benefit just as much from these visits as our fellow brothers at the Firemen’s Home.
