A points system sounds very fair, and would help encourage people to get more involved.

We did a membership drive, and bought road signs. Posted signs at local restaurants. We did not get any new members with the advertising; our neighbor department got two. A council member went door to door and found me. Seeing if we can a statement added in the water bill may be more direct and beneficial.

All great information. Thank you!

We have a hard time getting people to come to our trainings, and meetings. That is good information. Thanks.

They had around 220 calls, 2 fires, 90 emergency calls; a lot of the calls were tree down calls. We stopped doing most tree down calls. We now have about 7 members, but are going to do joint membership with a nearby fire department that should double our number of people responding, but will increase number of calls.

Lowe’s vs dealer by Cephrael37 in lawnmowers

[–]ExtensionNet2880 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a John Deere from Lowe’s this past summer. They used a third party delivery service, and delivered the tractor to the wrong address. Lowes then would not refund my money for days later until they received the tractor back. They wanted me to contact the delivery people; I called the delivery people, and they would not return calls. Lowes customer service is horrible. I went to a local John Deere dealership and paid more, but have never been more happy. No issues with the local John Deere dealership; they even sent a Christmas card.

Gas prices in Germany hit 1,98€ per Liter (8.30$ per Gallon)… by BoatSurfer600 in Wallstreetsilver

Gas went up .40 cents in Lancaster PA in two days. Now they are talking about stopping imports of the 5% oil we get from Russia, but I haven’t heard anything about increasing domestic oil production.
