ASTRONAUT MEMORIAL SERVICES
The City's Flag and Memorial Committee is sponsoring its annual Astronaut Memorial Ceremony on Saturday, January 28, 2012 beginning at 11:00 a.m., at the Astronaut Memorial Plaza, Sandpoint Park in Titusville, 2 A. Max Brewer Parkway (S.R. 402). The event is open to the public and our community members are urged to attend.
This ceremony is held annually in remembrance of the Astronauts lost in the Apollo, Challenger and Columbia accidents, along with honoring all Astronauts who continue to face the unknowns of space exploration.
The Keynote Speaker for this year's ceremony will be John McBride, Retired Astronaut. Also participating will be City of Titusville Mayor Jim Tulley, color guard units from the American Legion Post 1, Korean War Veterans, and Temple Christian Church's children's choir (under the direction of Mark Wooly), the Brevard Police and Fire Pipes and Drums; and local community representatives who will be placing flowers on the plaques of our fallen astronauts.

Community Food Drive
During these harder economic times, our community members can use your help. All Titusville Fire Stations (and Fire Headquarters) will be collection points for food contributions. Suggested items include:
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
- Boxed cereals
- Canned meats (with pop-tops)
- Boxed macaroni and cheese
- Pork 'n Beans
- Canned soups
his is a great opportunity to go through your pantry and dispose of the food stuffs you stockpiled for emergencies at the beginning of summer. Or, make the food drive a challenge match among your fellow employees, or challenge your civic organization, school, or church members to see who can donate the most! Regardless of whether you drop off one can or one case, everybody wins!
Titusville Fire Station Locations:
- Station #10: 617 N. Singleton Avenue
- Station #11/Headquarters: 550 S. Washington Avenue

Titusville Fire and Emergency Services Department is encouraging all members of our community to take the opportunity during this weekend's time change to also change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and make sure they are functioning properly.
The National Fire Protection Association statistics show that in homes equipped with smoke alarms, the units did not function properly in 3 out of every 10 fires. The devices did not work primarily because of missing, dead or disconnected batteries. Households with non-working smoke alarms now outnumber those households with no smoke alarms at all. This is an alarming statistic that must be reversed. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are one of the most effective means to provide early warnings to homeowners of impending fire or deadly gases.
If Titusville citizens need assistance in changing the batteries, checking their smoke detectors or installing new detectors, our firefighters are available to help. Also, if our citizens need smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, but can't afford them, Titusville Fire and Emergency Services Department will provide and install them, FREE OF CHARGE.
For more information or to set up an appointment for a detector check or installation, please contact Titusville Fire and Emergency Services Headquarters at 383-5708.
