A letter has been receive from the Ankeny Fire Chief stating the following:
 
Dear Friend and Supporter, The Ankeny Fire Department would like to express our sincere thanks for your financial support of our fire safety education program  You have recognized that we need to reach our children and other at-risk groups with accurate and vital facts that will educate and help them grow as safe, happy, and responsible citizens.  The materials we have carefully selected were developed exclusively by the National Fire Safety Council, Inc. a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization.
 
Because of your generous support, we were able to provide this well-rounded fire safety education program.  Without your help, this could not have been possible.  Thanks again, on behalf of the Ankeny Fire Department, and all the young people who will be touched by your helping hand.
 
Yours in Safety, Service and Protection, R. Vance Swisher, Fire Chief
