WELCOME -- The annual Welcome Fire Department Benefit Dance will be held 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 23, at the Welcome Legion Hall, featuring the local country duet of Steve Lang and Bob Petrowiak until midnight. Be generous in your donation for the dance, suggested donation is $5 per person but prices of equipment have gone up. Without help from the area and community, the fire department would not have the equipment and the firefighters to respond to the 80-100 calls per year they do. Please make checks payable to Welcome Fire Relief Association. Thank you to the fire department members for your service.
