A Visit to Torrance Firefighters Station 2

Carol Schreiner, one of our FTEA board members, visited with some of the Torrance Firefighters from Station House 2 that were part of the crew who were at our Family Picnic last September.

Pictured is Captain Brian Hudson.

Scott Arnold and Jon Shiah are the firefighters who were there, along with Tom Martin who was the engineer, (he’s retired now).

Carol texted the Captain who was on the engine that came to our picnic and let him know she’d be dropping off a Thank You card at their station.  She didn’t expect him to come out, but he did and she had a nice chat with him  & did a quick little chalk artwork while she was there.  It was his idea to hold the card for a photo.

He said they are looking forward to joining our group again!

PPE Distribution

Our second PPE Distribution was a Huge Success!!! 

FTEA members passed out 94 PPE kits to Pals members and Torrance Adaptive Sports members on Friday July 3rd and Friday July 17th at Torrance City Hall.  24 more kits are scheduled for delivery.  The kits were assembled by the Board members of FTEA from supplies donated by the Autism Society of LA that EKPTO generously provided for us.  Each kit contained 100 face masks, 2 face shields and 2 bottles of sanitizers.

Thank you once again to all those who donated supplies and participated in our second PPE Health Kit Distribution!
