Hancock MD Fire Company announced it would host the 2010 CVVFA Convention less than one day after Harrisburg PA advised the Association it was cancelling the event. The Convention dates remain the same. August 4-7, 2010. In an email to fellow CVVFA Officers Hancock’s Chief Greg Yost, CVVFA First Vice President invited the Association to hold the 109th Annual Convention. President Walter Robertson called Chief Yost and advised him “we graciously accept Hancock Fire Department’s invitation and thank them for stepping forward to host the convention at their hometown.” President Robertson quickly accepted the invitation in order to allow Hancock FD to begin planning the event. He praised Chief Yost for his leadership. “Greg provided real leadership in stepping up when the chips were down” he said. “Our members owe a debt of gratitude to the Hancock Fire Company”.

 
Normally CVVFA Conventions take at least one and often two years to plan. Hancock members will be very busy in the next several months dealing with a compressed time frame. Luckily Hancock hosted the 103th Convention in 2004 and knows how to host a great event. Check www.cvvfa.org regularly for updates and registration information. We will have it here as soon as arrangements are underway.
