The Laurel Fire Company is planning Operation Santa for the community and a Christmas party for the children of its members on Dec. 15.

Members can sign up their children for the Christmas party now. Anyone interested in having Santa deliver presents to their house that morning can drop off wrapped gifts complete with child's name and address anytime until Dec. 14.

Volunteers of all kinds are always appreciated at the Laurel Fire Company.

Laurel firefighters have been water training throughout the summer and are constantly updating their equipment which makes fundraisers and events necessary and worthwhile.

Feel free to stop down to check out the equipment and get involved. Station 40 is always looking for volunteers of all kinds, at the station and at the hall.

Polka nights are still being held every first, third and fourth Thursday of the month, 5-7 p.m. Also, fire company membership renewals are now being accepted.

For information about volunteering or about any of these events, call the club at 610-262-2077.
