Dear Lt. Glaze and Lt. Carter --

 

I hope you enjoyed a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Please know that I receive a lovely "THANK YOU" card from the family in my community for FEMS'/Engine 17's generous Thanksgiving basket.

 

The card reiterates their family's deep appreciation and gratitude to FEMS' for such thoughtfulness toward families and persons struggling during this challenging economic climate.   I can, myself, attest to the economic impact.

 

With that, and on behalf of our community, please accept my sincere, humble thank you for FEMS'/Engine 17's unselfish generosity and humanity during this holiday season. 

 

God bless you!

 

Very kind regards,

 

Commissioner Carolyn C. Steptoe

WHAT IS AN ANC?

The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) are locally elected bodies which shall advise the Council of the District of Columbia, the Mayor and each executive agency, the Government of the District of Columbia, all independent agencies, boards and commissions with respect to all proposed matters of District of Columbia governmental policy including but not limited to decisions regarding planning, streets, recreation, social service programs, education, health, safety, and sanitation which affect the Commission area.  In each of these areas, the intent of the ANC legislation is to ensure input from an advisory board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods that are directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the citizens in a neighborhood.  Commissioners serve without compensation.  See PL 93-198 and DCL 1-21, as amended.

Greetings Commissioner Steptoe,

 

IAFF Local 36 (the Firefighters union) will provide two Thanksgiving baskets to each firehouse that requests them. Each basket contains a turkey and various canned goods to provide a meal. This is a goodwill gesture aimed to provide a meal to 2 families that may be struggling financially or otherwise. Engine 17 would deliver these baskets around noontime on Nov. 24^th (this would be Lt. Carter's shift). I expressed to Capt. Bowers that I may be able to locate two families that could benefit from this generous  offer. Before reaching out elsewhere, I thought that maybe you or some of the other Commissioners may already know of  someone who would like to receive this Thanksgiving gift. If so, please let me know and we will facilitate the delivery.

 

Hope all is well with you. And please remind the citizens, the men and women of Engine 17 are here to serve. Thanks. Charlie. 571.239.4304
