The Riverhead Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary is celebrating its 90th Anniversary this year.
The Town Board saluted the organization, which supports the volunteer fire department, at the board’s regular meeting yesterday at Riverhead Town Hall.
Auxiliary President Kelli Naugles, Auxiliary Chaplain Kathy Berezny and several other members of the organization were on hand to receive a certificate of appreciation from Supervisor Yvette Aguiar and the rest of the Town Board.
“You help comprise the very fabric of what it means to be embedded in a small town like Riverhead,” Aguiar told the group. “I know many of you have been active volunteers for many, many years. And we thank you for all your steadfastness.
The supervisor asked Council Member Ken Rothwell, who is a volunteer firefighter, to read aloud the text of the certificate, which recognizes “the volunteers of the ladies auxiliary as they continue to aid and assist Riverhead Fire Department… For the past 90 years, with the first meeting being held Jan. 25, 1932. The ladies auxiliary has taken countless projects and hosted many events, all open to the public, which have raised funds and awareness for the Riverhead Fire Department.”
