Mehlville Firefighters Local 1889 will be hosting a benefit for Corporal Todd Nicely and his family.
Todd is the grandson of retired Mehlville Firefighter Russ Bono. Todd was wounded in the war in Afghanistan and suffered life changing injuries. He is only the second soldier to survive after losing both arms and both legs during battle. There is no greater cause.
The Benefit will be held September 24th and 25th at Faith Lutheran Church.
It will be based around a two day Bar-B-Que.
We anticipate this to be one of the biggest events our Local has put on. There is no greater cause and we hope to have a variety of events there that day. Faith Lutheran Church was generous enough to allow us to use their parking lot to host this event. They are located at the interception of Telegraph and Erb Roads in South County As of now (and its early) we plan to have 2 days of Bar-B-Que, drinks, a live band, fire trucks, a car show, possibly some equipment from the military and much more.
We just wanted to let you know a few things. First, please save the date and plan on attending. Second, we need workers. An event this size will not happen without the help of our community. If you have time and would like to help work the event and help Todd, give us a call. If you are with a church group, school group, club or just you and your family, come on down. Similar to the 911 fundraiser, there are numerous things you can do to pitch in that day. We would love to see you behind the serving table as well as in front of it. If you would like to help, call 314-805-FIRE (3473). Leave a message and we will call you back
That’s it for now; we have a long way to go in a short time. We will keep you up to date and keep checking the website of our face book page for updates.
Be safe and buckle up,
Nickolas R. Fahs
President, Mehlville Firefighters Local 1889
