I'D LIKE TO START TODAY'S POST BY CONGRATULATING 2 OF OUR MEMBERS FOR THEIR CODE SAVE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. GROTON TOWN PD OFFICERS JOEL LENDA AND CHRIS BANKS ARRIVED FIRST DUE TO A MEDICAL CALL FRIDAY NIGHT AND FOUND A PATIENT PULSELESS AND NOT BREATHING. IMMEDIATELY, OUR 2 CROSSFIT GROTON BROTHERS WENT TO WORK PERFORMING CPR. AFTER DEFIBRILLATING THE PATIENT, JOEL AND CHRIS WERE ABLE TO BRING THIS INDIVIDUAL BACK TO LIFE. WAY TO GET THE JOB DONE GUYS! I'M SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU GUYS AS FRIENDS AND MEMBERS. SOMEONE IS ALIVE BECAUSE OF YOU.




IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T ALREADY NOTICED, I'M A BIT OF A PHILANTHROPIST-SP? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW CHARITIES AVAILABLE TO DONATE TO IN THE BOX RIGHT NOW. JAY ERBAN IS GEARING UP TO PERFORM ANOTHER STAIR CLIMB IN FULL FIRE GEAR IN HARTFORD TO BENEFIT THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION, AN AWESOME CHARITY SET ON GETTING KIDS NEVER TO START SMOKING AND FINDING A CURE FOR LUNG CANCER. REMEMBER, SMOKERS AREN'T THE ONLY ONE'S WHO GET IT.

NEXT, MIKEY BEDNARZ'S LITTLE BOY ZACH IS COLLECTING MONEY FOR A JUMP ROPE FUNDRAISER AT SCHOOL TO BENEFIT THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. NOT ONLY DO THEY WORK ON FINDING BETTER TREATMENTS FOR HEART DISEASE, BUT THEY DO A LOT TO LET PEOPLE AND KIDS KNOW HOW TO TREAT THEIR BODIES.

WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK, I WILL BE COLLECTING THE FINAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT BY THE FRONT DOOR AND SENDING THEM OFF. THIS ORGANIZATION WORKS ITS ASS OF TO BUILD HOMES AND RAMPS FOR WOUNDED AND DISABLED VETS THAT GAVE A LARGE PART OF THEMSELVES FOR OUR FREEDOM. THEY ARE ALSO WORKING HEAVILY ON THE TREATMENT OF PTSD FOR OUR VETS.

WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH, I'LL ALSO BE PUTTING TOGETHER A FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT THE CHILDREN OF NORWICH FIREFIGHTER BEN DEMOND WHO WAS KILLED FRIDAY NIGHT ON I-395 BY AN ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER. HIS CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY BEING TREATED AT HARTFORD HOSPITAL AND I'M SURE THE FAMILY WILL BE IN NEED OF OUR HELP. LET'S DO THIS.

IF YOU HAVE A BUCK, A QUARTER, WHATEVER- TOSS IT IN FOR ONE OF THESE CAUSES. IT MAY BE CHUMP CHANGE FOR US, BUT IT MEANS THE WORLD TO THESE CHARITIES. IN THE AFTERMATH OF A HORRIBLE RECESSION, WE'RE ALL HURTING, BUT IMAGINE HOW CHARITIES ARE OPERATING... THANKS GUYS!

AND NOW ONTO BUSINESS...
