6 Cusco, Peru Page 6 Gray s Geography: Firefighting Around the World: Several years ago we had a fund raiser where the CFAAA sold blankets with our equipment embroidered on the blanket. We sold all but one, and this one was sent to the firefighters in Cusco, Peru. Below is their thank you letter. At the time of our visit all of the firefighters in Peru were volunteers. Jerry. Pardon for not having written previously, since he(she) was finding out my city working. If receipt the blanket I have to say to you that it(she) is beautiful, all the firemen of my company stayed facinados with the blanket. Now I have stayed in debt with you Jerry and you hare to come as soon as possible your present. Thank you

Volunteer Opportunities CPR Any one interested in learning CPR or First Aid, please contact Irene Redwine. If you want to further your education and want to become a CPR Instructor, also please notify Irene Redwine. Clothing Orders The old website is no longer working. You can also go to our vendor s website Logotology.com. We have a new 783 page catalog that you can choose from. You can order anything you like. Just remember to get it in Red, Classic Red, Sport Red, Vintage Red, Bright Red, or Engine Red. Any of these colors are ok. As colors vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, choose a red that is not too muted. Ladies should order at least two sizes larger. Do not have the logo embroidered before trying it on. They will send it back if it is too small and get you the right size, but not if the logo is on it. The vendor we use is LOGOTOLOGY 1750 Alma Road, Suite 122 Richardson, Texas Office# or Monica Scott at Order any embroidered item, that the CFAAA has approved, and they will embroider the CFAAA logo on it. For items you bring in, the logo embroidery costs $15.00 plus tax. If you want your name embroidered, the cost is $5.00 plus tax. Red caps can also be ordered. If you have a red shirt or jacket in the color red we use, you can take that in and they will embroider that for you. There is about a 7-10 business day turnaround and can then be picked up at the store. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00-5:30. Saturday appointments by reservation only. Be sure to try on any apparel as the items run small.
