Because we are not a full time department,I cannot McHenry,i�sooso require our personnel to be at any location at any one time. With your plans eis-sas-io�o better than one year in advance I will not ask our people to commit for that stet�oo� night 809 Rand Road McHenry,IL 60050 815-385-2525 Steve,as you know this is a once in a lifetime thing and I want our members to have the freedom to do what they want to do with their families.
