'Streetwalkers' say thanks for community support

Dear editor:

On behalf of the Mountain Home Fire Department "Streetwalkers," I would like to thank each and every individual and business who donated so generously to the annual Fourth of July fireworks.

We are always amazed each year how generous this community is to make our fireworks such a success.

My "Streetwalker" crew consists of the following: Vickie Bermensolo, Mary Beth Brown, Sharon Fletcher, Terry Knox, June Lonigro, Nancy Mason, Elise Mathias, Mary Miracle, Carol Mooney, Mary Lou Purcell, Jeanette Rost, Connie Slaughter, and Theresa Wilson.

These girls work extra hard on Wednesday evenings walking in your neighborhood asking for donations for the fireworks from March through June to make each Fourth of July show a little better each year.

I would also like to thank Chief Gridley for providing our flyers and shirts and all of the firemen for doing their part for our annual display.

This year, while you are watching the show on the Fourth of July, please take a moment to remember Barb Cristobal, our first leader of the Streetwalkers. Without her none of this would be as great as it is. Miss you, Barb!
