As in years past, Members of Southern took part in the Mothers Day Make-A-Wish convoy.

Engine 201 was given the Honor of having a Wish Child ride along for the convoy. 

In attendace were: Sgt. Cohan, FF/EMT Paparo, FF/EMT Cramer and FF Plourde. 

Members of 201 paid respects to Sgt. McCall, who was lost in an MVA on his way home from the Station, Thursday May 12, 2011.

Members remembered Kyle at the Station by sharing memories of thier experiences with Kyle, a cookout and finished the day with 2 softball games and a stop for ice cream. Kyle rarely missed any of Southern's picnics, so it was felt that this was the best way to spend the day.

 Rest easy Brother
