Fire Appreciation dinner honors Lani Pessoa and Pam Cook

On Dec. 7, the ladies of the Dobbins/Oregon House Auxiliary hosted the Appreciation Dinner at the community center in Oregon House. This annual event is the ladies way of showing the first responders and their families how much the community appreciates their efforts. President Mo Gillock and her wonderful auxiliary provided an excellent dinner as well as gifts to the members of the district. An observation was made that it seems to always take a group of well-organized women to keep the guys on track. The district board of directors is composed of five grumpy old men who are kept organized by two very efficient women; Lani Pessoa, the district board secretary and Pam Cook, the district board bookkeeper. Our district functions very well, in spite of the grumpy old guys, because these two ladies somehow manage to keep them on track. A sincere thank you from all of the guys to all of the ladies who do so much to make it all work.
