Shaylor, Christina
Hi! Thanks for visiting our website. I'm a 16 year old, high school
JUNIOR! I am the secretary of the Candor Fire Company Auxiliary. I have been the
historian for nearly 4 years! I love helping out the fire fighters in any way
needed. They do their best to help the community and I feel it is my part to
help them. I love web design. I've designed this site as well as the
Candor Chamber of Commerce's Website! <---
CHECK IT OUT! I love helping raise money to find a cure for cancer. I've been a
member since October 27, 2004!
Shaylor, Joyce
My idea of the Auxiliary is to support the firefighters. I come to the Station
when the alarm sound for a fire, accident, etc. I make food and coffee for their return. I help the auxiliary do fundraisers. The money raised goes for
cleaning supplies, paper products, food on every fire call and Thursday nights,
and classes that the state requires the fire fighters to take. We donated money
to the food pantry, Relay for Life, Red Kettle Association, American Legion
Veterans Walk-A-Thon plus we are working on our building project. It has taken
us a long time, but I am confident that we will be building it soon! I have been
a member since February 2002. I am the secretary for the Candor Chamber of
Commerce. I have been their secretary for three years. I worked with Pete's Tree
Service for 23 years before it burnt. I love meeting all the people that come to
our events. They all are like family to me.
Walp, Patricia
I am a life long Candorite. I was inspired to join the Auxiliary because of
Joyce and Christina Shaylor. Her dedication and belief in supporting our fire
fighters inspired me to give back to my community. We take so many of our
volunteers for granted in our community. Many of them have given endless to the
town and village of Candor. I asked her what was needed and she put me to work.
I joined the Auxiliary in January of 2008. I have other talents like sewing,
bead work, and computers. I also found out I am good at serving food, busing
dishes, washing dishes, and whatever else Joyce needs to be done!
Wilding, Nicholas
I have been the historian for 2+ years. Usually at dinners, you can find me on
the floor serving drinks and/or cleaning tables, you may also find me on the
serving line. I joined the fire department in December of 2007 to help others
since I almost life my life when I was younger to a fire. That inspired me to
become a firefighter when I was older. I am a 2nd year criminal justice major. I
am walking in the Veterans Walk-A-Thon in honor of my uncle who served in the
United States Coast Guard.
