Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department, (DLDVFD) treated 25 of their hardworking Ladies Auxiliary members to an appreciation dinner on June 22.
Waited on hand-and-foot, the ladies enjoyed roast beef dinner, tuxedo and lemon cakes inscribed “Thank you, Ladies,” and individual thank-you cards.
The best part was not having to do cleanup and dishes, and the ladies certainly appreciate their firefighters’ generosity.
