We recieved this in an e-mail from Doris about the fund raiser that we had. Thought I would post it so that in case you didn't get the email, then maybe you will see it here! Above is a picture of the Dade county mountain rescue squad on a practice day. This was taken some time ago. One of the people in this picture isnt as spry as he use to be, but he is getting better all the time! Kudos on your efforts, Rick Jr. !


The following article was submitted to our local Dade County newspapers by the DCMRS, I would like to thank, again, all who donated time and funds to make this fund raiser possible and to thank DCMRS for the publicity

"We would like to thank the Hang Gliding community and Doris Pollari for all of the fund raisers they have sponsored over the years. This summer was the 11th year that the Hang Gliding community has held a fund raising event for the Mountain Rescue Squad, and each year they have raised $1500 or more, with this past year raising $2000.

The funds have gone to purchase rescue equipment like rescue ropes, harnesses, carabineers, entire haul systems, haul baskets, back boards, and other assorted equipment. Without the Hang Gliding community's support the rescue squad would not have the amount or quality of gear that we now have, and we owe all the thanks to the people who made donations.

Our deepest appreciation and thanks to all of those who donated to the rescue squad and all of those who have been involved in the planning of the fund raising events over the last 11 years.

Sincerely,
The Dade County Mountain Rescue Squad"
