Hello, I wanted to let you know I was finally able to get together with the fire chief and have him sign the donation receipt and give him the masks. I was also able to get a picture taken. I am sending the photo and a scanned copy of the receipt. I am also sending you the original through the mail.

Freckles and I want to thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to be able to donate the masks in hope that it will one day save the life of an injured animal. As I told the chief I hope he never has to use them but if he does that it will help save a life.

Signed: Freckles & Dirk N. vanMerkestyn
