AFFI Member Attends IAFF Burn Camp In Washington DC
AFFI & Highland Park Local 822 member Joe Schrage accompanied camper Matthew Hill to the 2011 IAFF Burn Foundation Burn Camp, held in Washington DC. Matthew and Joe were given the opportunity to represent Illinois' burn camp - "Camp I Am Me".
The campers and counselors represented 43 camps from across the US and Canada. Like "Camp I Am Me", the campers arrive in Washington DC for a great week of bonding, team building and peer support. The camp is a wekk long event with multiple activites and an opportunity to tour our nation's capital.
As mentioned in past articles the AFFI Executive Board established the Annual Participation Award as an incentive program in hopes of increasing participation in on going survey requests we put out and maintain on the web site throughout the year.

The AFFI is engaged in a comprehensive media and public relations campaign designed to protect our member's rights and benefits. An important component of the effort is to remind citizens across our state of who we are and the work we do to protect our communities. We ran this Ad in Wednesday's Springfield Journal Register in conjunction with our 2011 Fran Gambro Legislative Conference. Local affiliate presidents may request a copy of the Ad and any other materials by contacting the AFFI office.
