the credential.

Excellence, Inc., (CPSE) administers the CFO Designation Program. The CPC
consists of individuals from academia, federal and local government, and the

This was the 3rd
year that Timberline High School football coach Nick Mullen requested an onsite
medical coverage presence from Lacey Fire District Three/Local 2903 during
Timberline's annual football team fundraiser camp.
This camp caters to
children ranging from 1st to 8th grade to introduce them to the sport and/or to
improve their football skills.

From June 28th thru July
1st, A.J Paulsen, Paul Taylor, Cindy Taylor, Sean Christin, Kevin Davenport,
Steve Montgomery, Craig Richards, Mike Perry, Eric Bamer & Kirk Beatty
volunteered their time at South Sound Stadium from 8:45 am - 12:00 noon for the
occasional minor injury and to assure that all the kids were staying hydrated
and getting adequate rest between football drills/ evolutions.

Thankfully, it was a relatively uneventful camp injury-wise w/only
minor nose bleeds, rolled ankles and scrapes & scratches. A fun time was
had by all, especially the kids!
