OPERATION E.L.F. “HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS” 2009 FUND & TOY DRIVE
The Professional Firefighters of Local 3059 & our Good Friends at Centro Properties Enfield Square are pleased to announce our 2009 “BLACK FRIDAY” event. On Friday November 27th, 2009 from 10:00am until 2pm Centro staff, Firefighters, & National Guard Foundation volunteers will be on hand at the Enfield Square, 90 Elm Street, in center court to collect monetary donations, gift and phone cards, along with new unwrapped toys.
This years drive will focus on monetary donations, as the Honorable Governor Rell has announced “Home for the Holidays” as this years priority. Connecticut has over 1000 members of it’s Guard deploying overseas this year, most of who serve with the 1-169th, headquartered here in Enfield. We have the opportunity to give them a chance to spend the holidays with their families prior to shipping out from stateside training bases to Southwest Asia.
Centro & the Firefighters are also pleased to join with our newest partner “Operation Tribute” who has assumed the duties of fund raising and distribution of toys for Connecticut’s annual Holiday party at the State Armory in Hartford. Please come out and support our hometown heroes and their families as we all do our part to protect and comfort those who defend us.
