ALL FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY PLEASE REPOST THIS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA THIS POST TO GET THE WORD OUT! ALL MEMBERS PLEASE SHARE AND FORWARD ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS! LET'S MAKE THIS BOTTLE AND CAN DRIVE A HUGE SUCCESS! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!! I'LL BE IN TOUCH!
"Bottle and Can Drive, June 3rd" This is Amy Crandall. If you are in the EMS service in Jefferson County and even beyond that and have had any dealings with County Car 1 Joe Plummer's office, you have interacted with Amy. She has worked in the Office of Fire and Emergency Management for several years. She is now battling Stage 4 (Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) an aggressive cancer of the bile duct. To say her and her family's life has changed is an understatement. Amy's Uncle Hal is in my fire department and also a district fire commissioner for the Town of Clayton, Fire Department. I approached him to see if there was anything we could do and also offered him a bottle and can drive. He agreed it would help a lot.
So here are the details:
I have been in contact with every volunteer fire department in Jefferson County ( a couple is calling back) and have set up a 1-day mega bottle and can drive for Amy.
The City of Watertown Fire Department has also come on board! The public will be able to drop cans and bottles off at all of these fire departments right after Memorial Day Weekend! It will start at 8 am Saturday, June 3rd. The bags will then be picked up on Sunday, June 4th, and taken back to Bottle and Can Retrieval on NYS Rt 37 in Watertown!
When I asked these department chiefs if they wanted to be a part of this day, they all jumped at the opportunity, cause everyone knows Amy.
If you have cans and bottles please hold them for this can drive. Let's pack a tractor-trailer!
