Appreciation Dinner

We will be throwing an Appreciation dinner on April 16 from 4-7 p.m. at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church. The dinner will honor volunteer firefighters, EMTs and drivers as well as raise money for needed equipment.

We will be having a Planning Meeting from this dinner on March 28th, 7p.m. at the Heartland Community Bank. Volunteers are still needed for this important event.

Meeting February 28 at 7:30 p.m.

There is a Chenoa Cares meeting on Monday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m.  The meeting will take place at the Heartland Bank community room.  This is the first planning meeting for the upcoming luncheon that will honor the many volunteer firefighters, EMTs and drivers. 

Chenoa pulls together

Chenoa received some great press in the December 28 edition of the Pantagraph.  It was the banner headline on the front page of the Local section.  Check out the story here. 

Next projects

At the last Chenoa Cares meeting, it was decided that the next project would be an appreciation dinner for the retired and current volunteer firefighters, EMTs and drivers.  The dinner will also serve as a fundraiser for the department.  After contacting the fire department, a piece of equipment or other project will be selected as the goal for the fundraiser.  A planning meeting for this dinner will be on Monday, January 17 at 7:00 p.m. at Heartland Bank.  The target date for the dinner will be March.  Most Chenoa Cares meetings are on Monday evenings - on the days when there is NOT a City Council meeting.

The second project that we are targeting is a work project at Chenoa Elementary.  A project will be chosen after discussions with school administrators.  The target for this project will be May.

November 6, 2010

Serve Your Neighbor Satuday will be November 6, 2010.  All are invited to meet in the City Park, under the pavilion at 9 a.m.  We will divide into groups to help people with seasonal transitioning.  This will include: raking leaves, checking furnace filters, removing window air conditioners, and assessing follow-up needs.
