Meetings:

The Hillsborough Volunteer Fire Co. #2 Auxiliary invites you to come to their next meeting on the second Tuesday of each month at 8 pm, in the 2nd floor meeting room of the firehouse. Their primary purpose is to assist & support Hillsborough’s Volunteer Firemen and their families, and to raise funds for the Fire Co & charities.

One of the committees is firemen’s food. Some of our members go to fires to give the firefighters food and drinks to keep them going.

The Auxiliary also can participate in parades, fire company dinners, etc.

The Auxiliary has their meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Their tentative meeting schedule for 2010 is: January 12th, February 9th, March 9th, April 13th, May 11th, June 8th, July 13th, August 10th, September 14th, October 12th, & November 9th.

Member Profile:

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hillsborough Fire Co. # 2 was organized over 50 years ago by Fae Decanto. Since then it has served the Fire Company well.
 
Our primary purpose is to support the Fire Company and fund raise for the Fire Company. One example of how we support the Firefighters is our Firemen’s Food Committee. When there is a large fire, the Firemen call a Signal 100. Our Ladies Auxiliary gets food, water, coffee, etc. to keep our fire fighters strong to fight the fires, which can go on for many hours.

We also support the Firemen by assisting them at their fundraisers, events & the Fireman’s Olympics. We also have our own fundraisers. We have Flea Markets plus Vendor & Craft Fairs, to name a few. We give money from our fund raising to our Fire Company and other charities.
 
Members are required to come to a reasonable number of meetings and participate in a certain amount of fundraising efforts. We have various committees that you can serve on, if you wish, to help the Ladies Auxiliary and the Fire Co. These committees include the Membership, Ways & Means, Publicity, Sunshine, Uniform, Marching, Historian, Telephone, Awards, Fireman’s Food, Landscaping & the By-Laws Committees. 

Some of the perks of being a Ladies Auxiliary member are the Firemen’s Picnic every summer, the Appreciation Dinner & the Installation Dinner. Our members are also honored for years of service at the Installation Dinner. We have a Holiday Party each year, plus at the Children’s Christmas Party at which Santa comes to visit the children of our Fire House.  As Ladies Auxiliary members, you can also ride on the fire trucks and go with Santa to visit the community each December. Our families are invited to the Pumpkin Carving party each October and you get a front row seat at the fireworks while the firefighter work to keep our community safe. We can join the Hillsborough Racquetball Club at a reduced rate. You can join the Marching committee and march with the Fire Co. at various parades. In addition, you know you are helping the Firemen who help our community.
 
We meet the 2nd Tuesday of most months in the Fire House at 8pm in the 2nd floor meeting room. The firehouse is at 375 Rt. 206 Hillsborough by Hillsborough Radiology, Charlie Browns & across the street from TD Bank. Our members are adults of all ages. We welcome new members, and you can join us even if you are not related to a Fireman. For information, call Chris @ 908-359-0123 or you can go to the fire co website:
