These Safety Tips Are Courtesy Of The Belvidere Fire Department We Wish You A Joyous & Safe Holiday Season!
HOLIDAY SAFE TREE Trimming the Christmas tree is one of the highlights of the holiday season.
Follow these tips to make sure you’re decorating safely: When using a traditional tree, keep your tree in water at all times and away from your fireplace, radiator and heater. • Check your tree lights. Repair or throw away lights with frayed or exposed wires. Turn off all the lights when you leave home or go to bed. • Have a reliable fire extinguisher in your home. Know where it is and how to use it. • Only use indoor, UL® approved lights on your tree. Miniature lights which have cool-burning bulbs are safest. • Never use more than three light sets on one extension cord. Extension cords should be placed against walls to avoid tripping hazards, but never under rugs. • Avoid placing small or breakable ornaments on lower tree branches where small children or pets can reach them.

Thank You For Helping Us Help Others! On behalf of Helping Hands Network, we would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Dan Holmes Musical Christmas Card/Toys for Tots Fundraiser that was held on December 14th. The event was a huge success with 100% of the proceeds going to the Helping Hands Network and the toys to Toys For Tots. The outstanding support confirms that the people of Boone County are committed to providing the highest quality of care to everyone we serve. We, especially, want to thank our sponsors for their overwhelming support, the cookie bakers and the individuals for the participation. Sponsors included: Gallano Trucking, Boone County Veterans’ Club, J&D Countryside Marathon, Lois Cannell Ramon and Ang Daniels. Basket sponsors included: Edwards Apple Orchard, Changes Salon, Poplar Grove United Methodist Church, Doctors of Hearing Healthcare, Gambino Realtors, Frailey Family and the Helping Hands Board Members. Their generosity is a tribute to the commitment and services Helping Hands provides on a daily basis as many people in our community face daunting challenges due to the prolonged economic crisis. A special thanks to Dan Holmes, Dave Walters, Lyn Swanson and Cindy & Bruce Poulter. Your performance of music and song was spectacular. Thanks to the many volunteers who helped before, during and after the fundraiser. Again, thank you for supporting our Christmas Concert event. Together, we make a positive difference and truly are Christ to others. With sincere gratitude & appreciation,
