Kris Carlton, Paul Frawley, Lucinda Frawley, Wayne Briggs and David Perry were unable to attend this morning and will receive their presentations at a later date.
A special presentation was also made by the brigade to Matthew and Johanna Carlton to honor their recent marriage. The presentation was made by Lieutenant Phil Ladson and Life Member Wayne Fiske. In keeping with tradition, Matt got to nominate what they would like for a wedding gift and Matt asked for a ladder to help him do maintenance around their new home. Our congratulations go to Matthew and Johanna; we wish them all the best for the future.
