A letter from Wassaic Fire Company Chief Scott Boardman:

Our company recently received some devastating news about one of our members, Jason Whaley. He has been in and out of the hospital for months with no clear diagnosis, has had multiple surgeries, and has missed a lot of work. This weekend, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Jason has been a volunteer fireman for 18 years, first with JH Ketcham Hose Company in Dover Plains, NY and most recently with the Wassaic Fire Company. He is currently the Captain of the Wassaic Fire Company. He has served on various committees and makes most every call.

On July 27th, the Lantern Inn in Wassaic, NY and the Wassaic Project are co-hosting a benefit night for Jason. The events begin with A Cake Walk at 6:00pm at Maxon Mills. The band, Shadow Creek, will begin at 8:00pm at the Lantern Inn. There is a $5 cover charge. The Wassaic Fire Company will be selling food. We invite you to join us that evening to help us help one of our own. If you cannot join us, but would like to make a donation, donations can be made to the Wassaic Fire Company. Please indicate that your donation is for Jason Whaley.

We thank you, in advance, for your support.

Sincerely,

Chief Scott Boardman,

Assistant Chief Kenny Elliott,

and the members of the Wassaic Fire Company

I thought there would be more interest on this subject a fellow fire fighter in need of at least support and this just went down quickly thanks to the guys who have posted. And thanks to those showing support by going or some other way

One person claims over 1000 people turned out. I would be amazed if the entire hamlet of Wassaic could handle that much lol, but regardless, looks like an overwhelmingly amazing turnout!!
