Sequim organization presents $25,000 donation to fire district

SEQUIM — The Sequim Dungeness Hospital Guild has given $25,000 to Clallam County Fire District No. 3.

The guild presented the check to Chief Steve Vogel at a recent luncheon attended by about 60 members along with the district’s safety officer, Bryan Swanberg; Olympic Medical Center’s CEO, Eric Lewis; and Rose Gibbs, director of the Dungeness Health and Wellness Clinic.

The luncheon was in appreciation of the volunteers who staff the guild’s thrift shop at Second and Bell streets in Sequim.

It also is when the guild presents its yearly gift of proceeds from the gift shop to the fire district.

Guild President Jean Janis presented the money for the purchase of I-STAT EC8 Cartridges and testing guidelines.

The cartridges will be used by fire district paramedics in the field to screen patients for multiple conditions, with results available in two minutes.

The fire district also surprised guild members by presenting them with a wooden plaque with a silver ax on it for the $600,000 given by the guild as of 2011 to the fire district.

The Peninsula Men’s Chorus provided Christmas entertainment and Sunny Farms contributed 7 pounds of turkey for the event.
