A GREAT SUCCESS!!
The 2006 6th Biennial Fire
Protection Ski Symposium was the largest and best to date. NEAFPSD wishes to
thank all the committee members and other volunteers that helped to plan,
organize and run this event. The symposium featured seminars, a product show,
raffles, lively auction and a many other activities. It was obvious that many
hours of volunteer time went into planning and coordinating the symposium making
it a great success.
A special thank
you goes out to all the vendors, sponsors and all those that donated to the
auction and raffle prizes. We could not have had such a successful event
without attendees. We were very fortunate to have our largest group ever of
symposium attendees. Let's ride this success to an even larger, more
successful, event in two years.
Watch this site for information about the 7th Biennial Fire Protection Ski
Symposium - March 2008.
The proceeds of the 2006
Symposium were donated to the Paul J.
Theriault Family Fund.
