A Day with the Girls

Everybody needs some fun downtime and the gals of the Auxiliary are no different. Our March get-together was a lot of fun. The ladies settled on a cajun menu proposed by our culinary superstar Ms. A.M. Our thanks to the lovely Mrs. R who hosted the group.

We started off with some chocolate dipped treats of strawberries, bananas and sugar wafers.

A little dancing too....more accurately, Just Dance II. "Wii" were having fun!

The goodies were coming along nicely;

some homemade etoufee

 and some bacon wrapped jalapeños!

 Mrs. Ch whipped up some virgin margaritas that were yummy!

We sat down to a delicious lunch and good company!

After our meal, the ladies settled in for an afternoon movie.

Safe to say, everyone enjoyed themselves...even our littlest members.

And we all learned something very important; that noone can resist being silly, when there are balloons involved....

 

Score! Firehouse Goodies...

A big THANKS goes out to the Harbor Ministries Thrift Store of South Houston for their contribution to Station 1!
A future project of the Ladies' Auxiliary is to clean up the kitchen at Station1. One of the things agreed upon was that extra cabinets would be needed to store items currently piled up on folding tables. On a routine visit to the local thrift store, one of our gals spotted THESE:

...a set of cabinets that had JUST been unloaded when they were discovered. Our Aux member asked about the price and when she enquired about having it brought to the station, the Manager decided to DONATE the set! (As long as they were truly for the fire department).

FF McDonnell got help from the Harbor Ministries folks in loading onto the truck.

Thanks so much, Harbor Ministries, for your generous gift!
