"Cares Enough to Wear Pink"

Per Resolution 10-12, the WSCFF encourages all of its members to participate in the “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” campaign to help raise funds and awareness for all women who are battling cancer.  It is important that we as fire fighters join together and help lead the way in portraying an image of hope, strength, and courage to those women who worry about being alone in their battle for life. 
The WSCFF encourages all member locals to coordinate with their fire departments for permission to wear pink duty shirts for the “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” campaign October 25-28, 2010. You may want to work with your employer to use the provider of duty shirts to produce shirts with your department logo. Or, to purchase signature “Pink Heals” shirts, go to www.pinkheals.com.

WTC Steel Traveling to Silverdale

Updated On: Aug 17, 2010 (09:48:00)
Two large steel beams from the collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, are currently being transported from New York City to Silverdale, Washington. The steel will be incorporated into a 9.11 hero’s memorial in Kitsap County.  
 
There will be a motorcycle escort of up to 500 riders escorting the steel from the Washington-Idaho line to its final destination in Silverdale. WSCFF members are encouraged to participate. The official escort is to enter Washington State at the Washington-Idaho border at Post Falls, Idaho, at 7:00 a.m. on August 22 and arrive in Silverdale at 5:00 p.m. 

Riders wishing to participate in the escort must join at one of the four official stops. Information about the steel, memorial and escort route are available at www.kitsap911memorial.org.

 As of August 12, the steel was in Joplin, Missouri.  A local news station broadcast a story about it that can be viewed here: http://www.ky3.com/news/local/World-Trade-Center-Beam-Makes-a-Stop-in-Mt-Vernon-100497079.html.
