The 2009 IAFFC Convention, held in conjunction with the New Jersey State Fireman's Convention is fast approaching. This years dates will be September 17Th, 18Th & 19Th in beautiful Wildwood New Jersey. The IAFFC Board of Defectors held it preliminary planing meeting this past Sunday at the  8Th annual  Monkey Race.  A motion was made to move our traditional parade location of Burke & New Jersey to a new location at the corner of Bangher & Leever Street's. Speaking against the motion Chief Bingo reported "It has taken years for the Chiefs Donkeys to establish a path to make our way home from our New Jersey Avenue location. The cost of establishing a new path in this economy could drain our bail fund".  A quick vote to the floor and the motion was dismissed. The Board also allocated funds for our double secret team of convention commandos and a check was issued to Madam Zelda's Vacuum Repair and Head Shrinking Service Inc. Four volunteers were dispatch and changed into local indigenous animals to sneak over the RT 47 bridge. The four heavily armed members drank all day and were fed Beef and Liver Alpo before being dropped behind the Wildwood Welcome Center. The Chiefs will sneak over the bridge and scan the area for terrorist activity and proper beach chair placement on New Jersey Avenue. We are trying to raise funds to change them back before parade time and hopefully we can understand the Chief's report if not.
