5/4 National Firefighters Day ! Fun Fact, James Lovett volunteers with the Fairfax County Fire Department. “My fascination of being a firefighter started when I was a little kid. It has always been something I’ve wanted to pursue. Now, I am blessed to have the opportunity to volunteer at the station less than a mile from my childhood home, right in the heart of the City of Fairfax. The relationships I’ve built, as well as the knowledge and experiences I continue to gain from being in the department is invaluable and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. Giving back to our community, to me, is the ultimate reward.” ~ James 5/5 Cinco De Mayo 5/8 Mother’s Day 5/16 CREBA Golf Tournament 5/17 All Hands Meeting 5/18 CoreNet Awards Black Tie Gala 5/30 Memorial Day
