August is a GREAT month this year!!!

[Firefight911]

Three major events happen in the month of August this year!!

One - The Tenere shows up

Two - It's my birthday on the 31st. (You have time so get shopping!)

And three - I am getting promoted to the rank of Fire Captain!

Sooooooooooooooo,

To All,

Accept my apology for this informal invitation but I wanted to get this out before it gets too close.

As many of you are aware, I have recently been promoted to the rank of Fire Captain with Folsom Fire Department. As such, I am inviting you to my badging ceremony which will take place as listed below;

When: August 1, 2011

Time: 4:00 PM

Where: Folsom Fire Station #35
535 Glenn Drive
Folsom, CA 95630

The fire station is located right across the street from WalMart.

I hope to see you all there. The event is informal so you don't need to dress up at all. You can leave the riding gear on even! Come as you are, bring the kids. There will be light refreshments after the ceremony. The ceremony itself will take approximately 45 minutes.

Thanks to each and everyone of you for all your support through many times, both good and challenging.

See you there!!!

Congrats, Captain. Given the line of work you are in, that is indeed something to acknowledge. Just don't go getting rank on us. Get it ?? Rank? Captain ??

Congrats on your promotion to Captain. I've been in for over 20 year on an engine company as an ex-chief and now I am also on a ladder company. So I know the commitment you are in for.

Damn, wish I could. I'll have to see if I can take the afternoon off during that day. We'll see.
Congrats!

Congratulations on the promotion to Captain, Phil! Great to see some parts of public sector being able to advance in these times.

I can't make it myself, but happy to see alot of the other "soon to be" ST owners able to represent.

Enjoy the new duties,
Hans
