cannot
express
how
grateful
we
all
are
for
the
help
received
from
so
many
sources.
From
a
group
of
volunteers
who
showed
up
with
brooms
and
mops
in
hand
to
the
roast
turkey
and
dressing
for
the
emergency
workers
to
the
person
who
donated
$20
to
the
AVFD,
all
did
their
bit to help and we are forever grateful.
Our
hearts
go
out
to
those
who
lost
loved
ones
and
those
who
suffered
through
loss
or
damage
to
their
house or business. We will keep you in our thoughts, prayers, and actions.”
