APPRECIATION BANQUET Embassy Suites, Cary 2 March 2002 The Apex Volunteer Fire Department's annual Appreciation Banquet was held at the Embassy Suites in Cary. Chad Edmunds and Allison Hall did a GREAT job organizing a very classy event. Nearly 100 people attended, including retired firefighters, widows of former members, and Town of Apex officials. We were honored to have retired FDNY Lieutenant Jimmy Palmieri as our guest speaker.
