GVFD Ladies Auxiliary

Gaylordsville Fire Department

Ladies Auxiliary

Who are we? The Gaylordsville Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary was formed in September 1965. We are a group of volunteers that support the Gaylordsville Volunteer Fire Department. We have active members, junior members, and associate members.

Why was the Ladies Auxiliary formed?
Many years ago, the ladies used a phone chain to notify firemen of an emergency in the area. The firemen's wives decided to form a group to help support the firemen and local community.

What do we do?
Our mission is to assist the Fire Department;
serving refreshments at fire calls, training, or drills as needed
supporting the firemen at parades by marching
supporting Fire Department activities such as the GVFD Christmas Ham Dinner and the GVFD annual fall Poker Run Each fall and spring, we sponsor an Auxiliary Flea Market as a fundraiser. We award an annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior.

When do we meet?
Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.

Where can you find us?
Meetings are held at the firehouse.

Current Officers:
President - Michelle Stietzel
Vice President - Kay Stietzel
