Preserve historic antique fire equipment. Conduct good will with community breakfast and festival. Organization's primary exempt purpose: Mission Statement--The Association, established in 1774, assists in the preservation of the historic firehouse (circa 1855), in Alexandria VA, supports the Alexandria Fire Department, and provides scholarships and other benevolent and philanthropic services to the Alexandria community. The Association promotes civic involvement, honors the legacy of its 18th century founders--all dedicated citizen firefighters--and values the contributions of our present day first-responders. The Friendship Firehouse Festival showcases the historic firehouse (built in 1855) and highlights its antique fire service apparatus and equipment. It is an open house and street festival with community exhibitors showing off their wares. Attendance estimated between 2000-3000 visitors. The Association awards a $1,000 educational scholarship to a deserving student from the Alexandria City High School who desires to pursue advanced education in the fire and life safety career field. Open House tours of the firehouse museum are conducted by a docent to include special tours for school groups, kids birthday parties and special detailed historical background talks about the fire company's earliest days in the 18th and 19th centuries. The antique fire apparatus is shown and comparisons of colonial and modern day firefighting techniques are demonstrated. Visitors come away with a better appreciation about the American fire service, and a greater understanding of fire and life safety issues. 0 1648 1648 William Kehoe Secretary-Treasurer 7 0 0 0 David Baker Trustee 2 0 0 0 Frank Fannon Trustee 2 0 0 0 Lynette Garrett Trustee 2 0 0 0 Jeanne Jacob Trustee 3 0 0 0 Jimmie McClellan President 5 0 0 0 Shawn McLaughlin Trustee 2 0 0 0 John Renner Trustee 2 0 0 0 Corey Smedley Trustee 1 0 0 0 Mark Souder Trustee 2 0 0 0 Frank Tremel Trustee 2 0 0 0 Catherine Weinraub Historian 4 0 0 0 Tim Winkle Vice President 3 0 0 0 Robert Dube Trustee 2 0 0 0 Jim Schwartz Trustee 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 VA William Kehoe 4800 Fillmore Av Apt 355 Alexandria VA 22311 7037516416 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 5610 6470 3665 3110 5469 24324 5689 8888 1875 1255 3365 21072 11299 15358 5540 4365 8834 45396 45396 11299 15358 5540 4365 8834 45396 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Expenses for scholarship and Festival activities.
