Souderton Fire Department

Ladies Auxiliary

Souderton, Pa

 

It was January 1926 when our Ladies' Auxiliary was
organized. Initially it comprised of nine ladies in the
community. The purpose of the Auxiliary was, and still is,
"to physically, financially, and morally assist as best we can
the Perseverance Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, of
Souderton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania."

The Auxiliary holds benefits to raise funds which are then
given to the Fire Company. In 1926 the ladies provided a
cash contribution of $300.00 and in 2005 it was $20,000.
Over the years the contributions have equaled several
hundred thousand dollars. Thanks to the patronage of their
events, the Auxiliary is able to contribute this amount of money.

It is said we all must change with the times and the Ladies
Auxiliary is no different. We try to keep up with the changes
in society, but it is sad that we (like most volunteer
Organization) are slow in getting new members. With
everyone's busy lifestyle, it is difficult to find time to
volunteer. But it is a very worthwhile and fulfilling experience.

 

Meetings are held the first Wednesday night of each month,
commencing at 7:30 p.m. If you are interested in joining,
please feel free to contact Kimberly Bojczuk, Publicity
Chairman at 215-723-2770, or any Fire Company individual
who can direct you to the proper person. You may also email
