The Canastota Area Association of Churches presented the fourth and final $500 grant to\u00a0the Canastota Volunteer Fire Dept. Wednesday, April 13. On hand to receive the award\u00a0from current CAAC President, Pastor Dave Allen of Believers Chapel-Canastota was\u00a0Canastota VFD\u2019s company President Doug Chandler and current Fire Chief, Lyle Chafee.<\/p>\n

These \u201cCanastota Volunteer First Responders Awards\u201d are the replacement recognition for\u00a0an appreciation dinner formerly held each January over the past 35 years.\u00a0Wampsville VFD is planning to use its grant toward an upgraded extrication saw to aid their\u00a0rescue work in the all too frequent automobile crashes in the area.<\/p>\n

The money for this year\u2019s grant came from a special reserve fund left over from past years\u2019\u00a0fundraising, and earmarked exclusively for volunteer recognition. The CAAC has determined\u00a0to launch a letter campaign soon to raise funds to continue the awards beyond the reserve\u2019s\u00a0expected exhaustion in 2018. If public response is strong, and a new chairman is identified,\u00a0the CAAC Board acknowledges the possibility that a dinner or similar recognition could\u00a0return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
