The Oregon Area First Responders’ Steering Committee consisting of Freemasons from Oregon Masonic Lodge (No. 151), the Oregon Chapter (No. 49) of the Order of the Eastern Star (OES) and the Oregon-Brooklyn Optimist Club — along with the Oregon area community — joined together to honor their first responders on August 22. Pictured above, members of the Oregon High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) Club help with serving the meal.
The awards ceremony highlighted many of the brave actions the First Responders are called to do on a daily basis. It was the sixth annual celebration.
It featured free food and entertainment for the first responders and their families.
The event gave members of the community an opportunity to express their appreciation and gratitude for all the work the First Responders do.
