Donation Center for Hurricane Helene Victims
Lebanon Fire Department is hosting a donation center for the victims of the recent disaster of Hurricane Helene. The drop-off location will be at LFD Headquarters, located at 520 Coles Ferry Pike. This location will receive donations from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM until further notice.
Please note, that while local communities appreciate the volunteer spirit during disasters and emergencies, it is important to refrain from sending resources that have not been requested by state or local authorities.
If you would like to bring donations to our upcoming picnic (10/5/24), and/or to our next post meeting (10/8/24), we’ll deliver them to the donation center.

Picnic Postponed
Due to the pending messy weather that is headed our way over the next few days, we are postponing our annual Picnic that is scheduled for this Saturday and moving the picnic to a new date of 5 OCT.
The location for the picnic on 5 OCT 2024 is now going to be Cedar Creek Campground, at 9264 Saundersville Road, Mt. Juliet, which is on Old Hickory Lake.
It is a large recreation area with a large pavilion and a large grill, a playground, and a sand beach on the lake.
If you would, share this information with anyone that you thought was planning to attend this Saturday’s event, so they get the “word”.
Some of you may have received a reminder email from our ‘SignUpGenius’ which still had the original date and location in it. I was able to edit the title of the event which has the updated date and location. The date and location further down in the event can not be changed with out starting a new event and we hope it’s not too confusing. That being said, here’s the link to use for RSVP and helping hands:

Since things have changed please make any necessary changes in the sign up app.
Please let me know if you need help with the app. I’m happy to help.
