1 ESTES PARK FIRE DEPARTMENT FOLUNTEER) c PO BOX 1200 EGIES PARK, COLORADO 80517 September 28,2000 Dear Friends: I am writing to thank you for the generous contribution you made in memory of Ron Weakland. Ron's presence and caring demeanor will be missed by all of us for years to come. The members of the fire department felt we should do something special with the contributions we received on Ron's behalf. We also felt it was important for you to know what your generosity has done for our community. As you know, Ron was an EMT with our department, so we decided to spend the contributions in the emergency medical area. Sufficient contributions were received for us to purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This device has the potential to help save numerous lives in the future, just as Ron has done in the past. We expect delivery of this life saving device in the next couple of weeks. Once again, thank you on behalf of the community and the Fire Department. Sincerely, Scott Dorman, Chief Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department
