Could I get any luckier?!
At my talk at the Sarasota Democratic Club event a week ago, one of my readers and all-round great guy around town, showed up to hear me talk, but also presented me with a present from Sarasota firefighters — who had read my column about the “Monsters of Midtown” in the newspaper recently.
The present was one of their 2011/2012 monthly calendars!
Lots of brave (and beautiful!) women are out there fighting fires, too!
Too gorgeous!
I was touched by their sweet gesture, but now that the calendar is hanging on my wall — I’m getting my daily dose of heroes every day.
If you want to support the firefighters, you can buy one of their 2011/2012 calendars, which benefit the Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund and “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer/American Cancer Association.” — I’m not quite sure who you call to get a calendar, but I imagine if you call your local station or stop by sometime when they’re not racing out the door — you can pick one up for yourself and donate to a good cause in the process.
Thanks for the calendar guys … and gals!
