* * * HISTORY * * *

In March of 1947 the Ladies Auxiliary was organized with the help of three members of the Easton Maryland Auxiliary present to give advice and help with the organization process.

The following officers were elected:

President:  Doris Moran

Vice President: Blanche McCrea

Secretary:  Ruth Elrick

Treasurer:  Elizabeth Daffin

In 1948 the Auxiliary purchased uniforms to attend parades.  In order to raise money the Auxiliary held a soup luncheon and sandwiches on election day.  An Ice Cream and Strawberry festival was also held.

June 1966 the new firehouse was dedicated.  In 1968 the Auxiliary sold cookbooks, dinners and the cake booth at the local carnival.  These were the means for raising money for items needed.

Through the years the Auxiliary has supported the Fire Co. by contributing towards the purchase of Airbags, gear, fire trucks and other items needed.  The Jaws of life was also donated by the Auxiliary.
