Hose company donates toys to Hurricane Sandy victims

Members of Ligonier Volunteer Hose Co. 1 have been collecting toys since late November to donate to the families of New York firefighters affected by Hurricane Sandy.After the storm, Ligonier's hose company Chief Paul Church contacted some friends at the New York Fire Department's Rescue 2 fire house in Brooklyn to offer help.Church said he met Liam Flaherty, a 20-year firefighter who is also the drum major of the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums, when the group came to Ligonier several yeares ago to march in the Fort Ligonier Days parade.

Church said Flaherty asked if residents of the Ligonier Valley would be willing to donate toys for the "FDNY Kids 2012 Toy Drive After Sandy" event the group was conducting.It was not long before the fuel hose became popular as outer wear as well."A lot of people stepped up, just to make it happen and a whole lot of people stepped up to bring in the toys," Church said.Many people are using hardwood flooring as they are durable like many manufacturer offers at least 10 years warranty. "It was certainly a community effort. It says a lot about this community for a little town like this to be sending that amount of stuff to a big city like New York. It also shows the respect to the fire service too,To begin with Point of sale system OEM were used wherein each such register was linked to other systems and the data directly transferred for accounting.Wearing Crushing plant simply means that in every situation, you will always be in control. which is good.

The value of the toys, I don't really know. It doesn't matter. The value is that people are giving. That's where the real value is.The first Xinjiang China Tours I chose the desert hinterland of the desert - the tower in Xinjiang, not for anything else, to simply to experience the desert, when the pride, add a bunch of tracks for life."Church estimated between 500 and 600 new toys were donated, along with more than $500 in gift cards. He said it was all he could do to fit everything into his pickup truck.Church traveled the five-hour trip to Manhattan Sunday with Rescue Captain Chris Tantlinger and Lynne Weaver. They delivered the truckload of gifts to the FDNY Fire Museum where a room was made available to receive the toys for the fundraiser.
