Hi Sarah,

I have looked over the grant and submitted it. I personally want to thank you and your team for all the help in preparing the narratives and review of the whole grant. All we can do now is keep our fingers crossed even though I think we have a excellent application.. Again thanks for all your help.

Jerry,

Last May I wrote to you, thanking you for your succinct advice - I was helping a nearby fire company write an AFG application in the 11th hour -- their 12 man Fire team needed ANSI class 3 turnout gear. Senator Mikulski's office called the department yesterday to let them know that they got 98% of their funding! I just wanted to thank you ever so much for helping us!

Thank you,

Thanks again for helping us with the narrative, it definately made a difference. This was the 3rd time I had submitted a grant request for gear, I think it's safe to say you writing the narrative made the difference.

Thanks again for all the help, I'm sure I will be contacting you again in the near future.

Thank you,

Good Morning Sarah,

We are ready to rock and roll!! 

I can’t express to you and Bryan how very much your assistance has helped me in completing this grant.  Getting these firefighters back will be such a great accomplishment!!  Having a small department like ours makes things like this very personal – they are my family. 

Thanks again for all of your help!

Hello Sarah and FGH Staff,

Just a quick thank you to you and your staff for the work they did on the Firer Station Grant for Bristol Township. With the material I submitted your staff was able to assist me with the proper writing technique needed to prepare the grant. And I just might add, a successful grant. We were notified today that we were awarded $2.2 Million dollars for the construction of a new fire station for Bristol Township.

I like to think that together with the material submitted and the expert on your end, the project was a success.

Again I appreciate everything you and your company did for our department and we look forward to moving into our new home.

Sincerely,

Steve Craiger
Assistant Chief
Bristol Fire Department
