On Friday, October 10th the Fillmore Women’s Service Club made two important organizations serving Fillmore smile as the club donated monies to them to improve their situation.

They met with the recipients at the Fillmore Police Station to give a check to both groups to fill their need to better operate while serving the citizens of Fillmore.

The first group was the Fillmore Volunteer Firefighters Foundation who received a check for $4500 toward replacing the outdated computers on their Fire Trucks. The new computers will be able to integrate with the county system, thereby improving all services. Attending were several members of the fire department led by Fire Chief Rigo Landeros. Club President Jeanne Klittich presented the check to Foundation Chairman Scott Beylik.

The second group receiving a donation of $1500 was the Fillmore Police Department. It will provide “CoolCop” devices for use in their patrol cars. The equipment permits each deputy to connect from the car’s air-conditioning system to their protective vests helping to maintain a semblance of comfort during our extremely hot weather. Accepting the check from Club President Jeanne Klittich was Fillmore Police Chief Dave Wareham as several very happy deputies and Club members looked on.

According to FWSC President Jeanne Klittich, the club donates their hard earned funds to worthwhile projects along with their scholarships to benefit as many in our community as possible. The Fillmore Women’s Service Club has been active in Fillmore for over 50 years and whose members work toward making Fillmore a better place to live.
