message: "Dear Busy Bee, \r\n\r\nI was inquiring if your company participates in any charitable  donations.\r\n\r\nWe are the Administrative Fire Services Section (AFSS), a division organized under the parent structure of the California Fire Chiefs’ Association. Our members represent fire agencies across both Northern and Southern California. The AFSS mission is to enhance the dedicated administrative professionals in the fire service who are committed to providing the best service to their departments and community through leadership, training, and education. Our section organizes quarterly meetings and training events throughout the year that provide vital support to all. In addition, AFSS holds an annual Education Forum Conference, and the next conference is scheduled for April 1 – 3, 2025 in Costa Mesa, CA. \r\n\r\nAFSS is reaching out to retailers and surrounding communities to contribute a complimentary item(s) for an opportunity drawing which would assist with offsetting organizational costs. In addition, your company’s donation provides funding towards our annual forum which promotes educational resources, leadership development as well as administrative fellowship among our state-wide fire agencies. \r\n\r\nThe California Fire Chiefs Association is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization / Tax ID #26-0850856. \r\n\r\nIf your business can participate, please let me know how you would like to coordinate a drop off or pick up of donated item(s). If you would like to mail a donation please send to: Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue, c/o AFSS Conference, 77 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. We will also need a digitized logo that we can include in our program for our participants.\r\n\r\nShould you have any questions, please contact me at the information provided below. Also, additional information about our organization may be accessed via our website: https://calchiefsafsssouth.wildapricot.org/ \r\n\r\nThank you for your time and consideration.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nMichelle Pearson\r\nmpearson@pismobeach.org or (805) 773-7031\r\nAFSS South Conference Coordinator"
