Fun to be had!

Being a volunteer has a lot of responsibilites, but sometimes it has some fun moments. You have the trainings and the classes, and the meetings, the incessant 'beep beep beep' in the middle of the night at times, to go help someone in need. And then there are the fundraisers... cause if you don't make money to keep the building up and running and put fuel in the trucks and buy and maintain equipment, you aren't any help to anyone else when they need you.

So when you think fire departments, you think, boot drives, bingos, raffles and 'bash's (gun, cash, etc.). Then sometimes we can sneak something fun in there, fun for us as well that is. As long as I can remember (Rae I'm gonna borrow parts here) the first Saturday of every month was 'Oldies Dance day'. My fire department holds a dance, we call them Firehall dances now, was time for a change, cause its not all oldies anymore. Saturday morning we set the hall (if the guys weren't nice enough to set it Friday night during 'coffee night') cover the tables and make the food. I remember being a small child, Rae's dad and brother running off for their monthly haircut and coming back with "Dixon's donuts" and then having major battles with the table cover rolls and boxes as they got emptied.

Well, as I've grown, I am now allowed to help with the cooking, (scary I know) and I have started learning the world of djing... So tonight proves to be fun, we have lots of our friends joining us for the evening for good music, better company and what will it hurt if we shake our bootay's a bit? Add a little adult beverage and it could be for a crazy night!

Can anyone say bring on the jello shots?
