And The Winners Are..
The Golf Ball Drop was a huge success, raising lots of money for Widows & Orphans. This year's winners were all firefighters:

* 1st Place: Guy Miller - $2,500 cash
* 2nd Place: David Smith  - 55" HDTV TV courtesy of Symons Capital Mgt.
(Smith kindly donated it back to the charity auction where representatives from Bradawn Insurance Services bid on it and donated it to F.S. 64)
* 3rd Place: Michael Hayes - Apple iPad

And a special congrats goes to Rose Franco and Danielle Porche who sold the most Golf Ball Drop tickets, which won them lunch and a tour at the unique San Pedro fire boat station.

Beth Ryan - Disney check
The Most Generous Place On Earth     

Disneyland might be the known as the Happiest Place on Earth, but the company that runs the park (and a host of other ventures) recently brought smiles to the faces of firefighter families. Thanks to its VoluntEARS program, Disney employee Beth Ryan earned a donation for the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen's Fund based on the number of hours she volunteered throughout the year. She also got the charity qualified for Disney's "employee matching" program, in which the company matches donations made by its employees. Does your company have similar programs? If so, you could make your gift of time, money or services to help firefighters and their families go even further. For assistance getting WODFF signed up at your company, contact Marlene Casillas at mcasillas@wodff.org.
