What a Night!

The second meeting of the CFD Retirees' "Hooked Up" program was held tonight at the North Charleston American LaFrance Fire Museum with 50 people in attendance.  We were pleased to have Chief Carr attend to welcome our retirees as we were entertained with two beautiful songs by Ms. Peggy Sineath. Peggy has long been a great supporter of Charleston Firefighters and has participated for many years with us in the March of Dimes and Carolina Children's Charity telethons with her beautiful music and voice.  We also enjoyed a wonderful holiday meal provided by A & M Brown's Restaurant in Moncks Corner.

We would also like to thank Smokey Bones Restaurant, Long Horn's Steakhouse, T-Bones Restaurant, the Olive Garden Restaurant, Charleston Silhouettes and A Little Bit of Everything for some great door prizes as well as Frederick's Florist for the beautiful flower arrangements for the tables.  Please remember all of these businesses for their support of this program. Nancy and Ted Jones, Chief Wilmot Guthke's daughter and son-in-law, worked very diligently with all of these businesses in gathering these door prizes.  Many thanks to them and to Grant Mishoe and Ray Bennett, of the Museum, who gave their time to be our hosts.

Last, but certainly not least, thanks to all of our retirees and their spouses or guests for attending and making this such an enjoyable event.
