Wanted to Honor Firefighters at Buy a Firefighter Breakfast on 9/11 Event. The Chico and Oroville Optimist Clubs are holding a big event in Chico to remember 9/11 by honoring Butte County Firefighter/Emergency Responders at breakfast. Several Butte County Supervisors attended the event last year and spoke honoring our Firefighters. They were wonderful! I've attached a poster and detailed description of the event. I am eager to: 1. Have the event widely promoted throughout the Butte County Offices including all of the Supervisors Offices; 2. Sell tickets for Virtual Tables of Six to the various County Departments. The Firefighters/Emergency Responders from Oroville, Chico and Cal -Fire Butte County are very excited about the event. We need to fill the hall with community to honor them (not to mention pay for their breakfasts; 3. Enlist Supervisors to speak at the event, (forjust a few minutes each) remembering 9/11 and/or honoring our Firefighters. The event will run continuously from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM but we are dividing it into 2 segments 8-9AM and 9-10AM in order to meter folks to maximize the efficiency of the meal service. Dignitaries volunteering to speak should indicate in which time slot they would like to be scheduled. I will provide all speakers with a complete schedule of the program before the event. We can serve up to 400 breakfasts and our goal is to honor at least 100 Firefighters, of course we are optimistically hoping for 200. I've had very enthusiastic support from Chico and CalFire Butte County. Please call or email me with any questions etc. Thank -you very much!
