Carolina Dreamers Thanks Bluffton Fire Department

As a non-profit group, the Carolina Dreamers Car Club of Bluffton was approved this past year and again for 2023, by the Town of Bluffton Fire Department to use their Station 35 training room for monthly member meetings at NO COST. This has allowed the Dreamers to save hundreds of dollars in a facility use fee and put those funds toward our fund-raising proceeds available at year's end to distribute to our charitable organizations.

At the December general meeting it was suggested by a member we give something in return to the Fire Department for approving us to use of their "home away from home" to conduct our monthly member meetings. In typical, generous Dreamer fashion, the "hat" was passed around and we collected $230.00 and purchased a Publix gift card.

Attached below is the presentation on behalf of the Dreamers to the new Fire Chief Paul Boulware and one of the shifts. The gift card will be divided among all three shifts for their Holiday meals.
