911 Address Markers!
Now is a good time to improve your own safety, and at the same time benefit your Oglethorpe County Volunteer Fire Department.

Order your bright green 911 address markers. These vivid green signs, placed next to your driveway, are what firefighters, first responders, EMS, and sheriff are able to spot the easiest and can mean critical seconds in being able to respond quickly to an emergency. As a fire engine driver, I can tell you that a lot of time can pass in trying to find an address without these reflective standards to look for, especially when it's late at night.

The markers are $20 each, if you install them yourself, or $25 each if you want your fire department to install them. They make great gifts, too.

For Wolfskin District, email Lisa, or call her at 706-207-5414 for more information.

Wolfskin Development Plan

Request for suggestions:

On the right sidebar, there's an entry under WFD Plan, which is a word doc that you can download to view. This is Bill's most recent (Sep 1, 2009) reworking of the WFD Development Plan we've been working on since January. Please do look at it and make comments or suggestions.

(Or you can click here.)

This is a plan by function, rather than by date. At some point we'll probably have an alternative document in the form of a 1-3-5 year plan that is consistent with the current one. What we found was that for our specific needs it was better to first carve out our various functions along with officers in charge. Too many functions were ongoing, and didn't really fit a 1-3-5 year plan (recruitment, for instance, or fundraising). There was a sense that a 1-3-5 year plan should be more visionary, addressing special projects, rather than messing with day to day ongoing operation.

So it's a start. With that context, we'll update as we get suggestions and incorporate them. Suggestions can emailed or added in the form of comments to this post.

Thanks to Ed, Lisa, Phyllis, Wayne, and to Bill who heads the committee. Actually there were several times when just about everyone sat in to offer suggestions, so let's thank everyone.
