MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The South Lake County Volunteer Firefighter Association reported that its third annual dinner and auction fundraiser – held last Friday at Twin Pine Casino – proved to be a very successful event.
South Lake County Fire Protection District Captain Tony Allegra, who also is president of the South Lake County Volunteer Firefighter Association, said they raised $11,000 at the dinner.
The funds will go toward several purposes, Allegra said, including the district's scholarship program at Santa Rosa Junior College and Mendocino College, and the Field of Dreams program for special needs children and veterans.
The association also has used funds from the event to help purchase much-needed equipment, according to Allegra.
