Annual Fund Drive
The 2010 Bower Hill VFD Fund Drive is now underway. Information was mailed to all known occupied residences in the service area during the week of October 12, 2009. If you did not contribute to the fund drive, a second mailing was sent to your residence during the week of February 14, 2010. If you did not contribute, and did not receive a mailing, call the station at 412-221-3497 and leave a message, and we will get one to you. If you received a second mailing and are unsure whether you contributed already, call the station at 412-221-3497 and leave a message, and we will check our records. If you received a second mailing and know that you contributed, disregard the mailing. It may have crossed in the mail. Let us know by calling the station at 412-221-3497 and leave a message. We will confirm your contribution. Please leave a call-back number, so we can confirm the information with you. Thanks to everyone who has supported Bower Hill VFD in its 86 years of service. Your fund drive donation includes your subscription to Scott Township EMS.

Time to Change Your Smoke Alarm Batteries
We're now past March 14th, when we moved the clock ahead to daylight-saving time. Remember, when the time changes between standard and daylight-saving times, it's time to change your smoke detector battery. If you keep another schedule, that's fine, as long as you remember to change the battery at least twice a year. If it has been longer than six months since your last battery change, now would be an excellent time to do it. Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they are installed and maintained properly. If you have an AC-powered (plug-in or permanently wired) alarm, change the back-up battery at least once a year. Likewise, if you have a carbon monoxide detector, change the batteries on the same schedule.

Best Wishes to Reserve Member
Bower Hill Volunteer Fire Department extends best wishes and prayers to Reserve Member Wilson Matthews and his family for the recovery of his daughter, Makenzie, who had surgery for a malignant brain tumor on September 18, 2008. Information about Makenzie's progress can be found at her CarePages page here. (First-time users must create a login.) Friends and family have established a fund at Wilson Bank & Trust to help with Makenzie's medical expenses. Donations can be made on her behalf by making out a check to the "Makenzie Matthews Benefit Fund" and sent to:

Wilson Bank & Trust
