Ester fire department meeting

Just got back from the annual meeting of the Ester fire department/district. It was pretty good turnout this year. Kate Billington is the newest EVFD, Inc., board member; Bill Kopplin stepped down and Margaret Rogers and Nancy Burnham got re-elected. George Riley spoke on the fire commission. Mark Simpson invited the assembled to the upcoming Ester Community Association meeting (Oct. 11, 4 pm at Hartung Hall), and recommended that the two boards (ECA and EVFD) get together and look at ways for the two groups to work together better. It was a pretty interesting meeting. Good door prizes, too. I'll have more on this later, when I get my notes organized.
