GLVFA held its annual Appreciation Day (R&R) on Saturday afternoon.  Grants were handed out, with Congressman Bilirakis in attendance as the guest speaker.

​Kasey Johnson, community relations coordinator at the Hernando County Citizens Academy, presented to the members about their community citizens education program.   The Citizen's Academy is a free program that gives the Sheriff's office an opportunity to provide information to the citizens of Hernando County on the role of the Sheriff in our community. They also have a safe gun ownership/use/training program.  Please inquire to the following website for further information on all their community programs.

​Paul Hasenmeier, Hernando County Director of Public Safety and Fire Chief, presented on various fire safety topics of concern to residents. Mr. Hasenmeier leads an all-hazards department that provides services in fire protection, EMS first responder and transport, HAZ-MAT, and emergency management. He is trained as a firefighter, paramedic, instructor, fire inspector, and in all rescue disciplines. He is also a university instructor in fire management.  His presentation was very informative and well received by our members.

​​It is with a heavy heart to share the sad news of the passing of our dear friend, Sandy Klontz-Millington.   She and her husband Wayne have been huge long-time supporters of GLVFA, she always lit up the room with her infectious smile at our events.  She has been a long-time resident of GlenLakes, and always involved in many of our activities.  Let us keep Sandy's spirit alive in our hearts and cherish a very special person and friend.  She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. We wish the Klontz and Millington families, and especially our friend Wayne Millington, our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
