Celebrating Years of Service

Town Council and Staff, and the Porcupine Plain & District Fire Department, got together on Monday, December 16th for a Service Awards Banquet. 

Kelly Smith was presented with a gift in appreciation of his ten years with the Town of Porcupine Plain, and Koral Kriger received a gift thanking her for her five years working with the Town. This year’s departing council members – Frank Duhaime, Nicole Genaille and Don Ross – were presented with special parting gifts, and each council member received a personalized gift noting their years of service.

In addition to celebrating the Town employees and council, members of the Porcupine Plain & District Volunteer Fire Department were acknowledged for their years of service. 

Volunteer Firefighters commit to making every effort possible to assist fellow residents in our most vulnerable time of need.  They respond at all hours of the day and get called out in evenings and on weekends and holidays.  If you see any of our volunteer firefighters around, please take the time to thank them — as well as their spouses and families — for their service and commitment to keeping our community safe.
