“Whatcha Been Doin’?”
WSESI Assists at the Firefighters Memorial
On Sunday morning, October 25, six individuals from the Wisconsin fire service community, ranging from Random Lake to La Crosse, met at the Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial (WSFM), located in Ben Hanson Park, Wisconsin Rapids. Among the six were WSESI Vice-President Ron Naab, Executive Secretary Kevin Gerarden, and Kevin’s wife, Susie. The weekly upkeep of the Memorial grounds is performed by volunteer efforts from around the state, and consists of lawn care, along with cleaning and spruce-up of the Visitor Center building.
Social distancing was
maintained, and tasks were accomplished in time for that Sunday’s Packer game.
WSESI members, and other groups or individuals interested in lending a hand to keep the Memorial beautiful, can contact our Vice-President, who also serves as Scheduler for WSFM park maintenance:
Thanks!
