Overview of Towns 4 Troops Our Past Towns 4 Troops has evolved out of the continued support and growth of the Iron Chef Style bbq competition. The BBQ competition originated through members of the Harriman Engine Company #1 discussing the need to outreach and assist active duty military personal. We have had the privilege and joy of being teamed with the great organizations; American Legion Post 488 of Lakes road as well as the Patriot Breakfast Club over the past three years who have been our stepping stone to the organization we are today. They have provided the support and knowledge, allowing us to grow into our own organization. We look forward to their continued support and partnership as we move forward as Towns 4 Troops Who we are Rick Walls President Sean Lowe Vice President Peter McGoldrick Treasurer April Lowe Secretary Why We so often take for granted the luxury of taking our wife s and husbands out to dinner, planning a night with friends to watch the big game, sharing a holiday meal or being at the hospital when your child is born. This moved us to create an event to raise funds to be able to support just that, for those who protect and support us so faithfully.
