People came from all over as they saw the elevated ladder of Tower Truck 22, fascinating to young and old! Chief Williamson, supporter of OS91 since its inception, spoke a great message, telling the hearers a little about the history of OS91 and our Annual Tribute Events.
Speakers from left to right: OPD Sr. Chaplain Andrew Wade,

Please contact CCI if you need this kind of help or to volunteer your services.
Catch The Cause partners #1, #3 and #4: Hector,
with daughters Manuella and Marianna
In January, when Ed and I were at Fire Rescue East, we were blessed to be assigned a Vendor spot right next to Hector. Hector became our very first CTC partner way before the prelaunch and signed up his wife and daughters with a very generous donation. These two dear young partners are following in their father's steps. They saved up some money to bring to this Event to donate to OS91 to help reach Responders with the message of Psalm 91! Hector, you and your family are a true blessing and encouragement to us. Thank you!
