Fresno Fire Family,
Mark your calendars … We are hosting the 2010 Firefighters Ball (co-sponsored by Local 753 & the Fire Chief's Foundation) on Saturday, March 27th at the Downtown Convention & Entertainment Center. The no-host social hour starts at 5pm, and the program/dinner begins at 6pm with live music from our own 5150 Band and dancing until midnight. We have twice the space and plan on having twice the fun! Up to 600 tickets will be sold (the last Ball sold out at 400). Tickets will be available at the Credit Union starting on Friday, February 12th. We will know exact ticket pricing by Monday evening (2/8), but they will be around $40 per person. Invitations will be mailed out within a week.
Department members have priority in purchasing tickets until March 8th. After that, members will still be able to purchase tickets, but sales will be opened up to others. Some have expressed that they would like to invite friends from other departments, friends, etc. However, this does not limit members from purchasing any number of tickets once they go on sale to include their friends or family members. But, it does need to be the member making the purchase before March 8th. Also, there will be a seating chart at the Credit Union so that as you purchase your tickets, you can select your desired seating location. There will be up to 60 tables, so get your tickets early.
Please join us in honoring our Retirees, celebrating our profession, and enjoying our friendships at the Party of the Year.
