    The ladies Auxiliary was formed on September 10th 2007. The chief met with some of the ladies to discuss forming a ladies auxiliary that would support our firefighters and  department families and extend to the community in times of crisis. Immediately the Guil-Rand Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary was formed. Members consist of wives, mothers and daughters.

    Our first year events included: a bike ride and delivered money to the Charleston 9 families,  spaghetti dinner fund raiser, provided children's Christmas party, provided Christmas gifts for two families, hosted the Randolph County Assoc. Meeting, fed 200 homeless people, children Easter egg hunt, Archdale clean sweep, Relay for life, hosted Randolph County Dive Team Meeting, Communities in Schools Bike Ride fundraiser, sponsored the annual Shriner's softball tournament for burn children, hosted the 2008 promotional dinner, provided assistance to 12 families for death and sickness, responded to 5 calls and provided refreshments.

   Our goal is to establish a rapport among fire department families so that they will feel comfortable calling on the auxiliary in times of need. Meals are delivered to families who experience a death in the immediate family or when a member has a illness or hospitalization. A birth into the fire department family is always cause for celebration. Other special situations are acknowledged with a card.

Ladies Auxiliary Prayer

The Ladies wait while their men respond,

united as one in a common bond.

The bond of serving, each in their own way,

the needs that arise, be what they may.

The reheated meals, the unsipped drink,

are a common occurrence, much more than you think.

It’s mostly routine and done without flair,

the men return, the Ladies are there.

But then comes the call, the tough one to fight,

a working fire that may last through the night.

The Ladies again wait, but this time they know,

that sooner or later they will go.

As they wait for the signal, the time draws near,

for that sooner or later to be suddenly here.

The men are all weary, some of them spent,

the refreshments that arrive, are heaven sent.

The Auxiliary in fact is more than a name,

it’s a dedicated arm of the volunteer game.

So God when we pray, for the firemen’s care,

include the Ladies who are always there.
