Letter to Local Business Owners
Shawn Bittle and father
Dear Business Owner,
My name is Shawn Bittle, I am a Firefighter with the City of St. Louis Fire Department. As a native of the Queen City of the Ozarks, I am very excited to tell you about a newer organization that you may not have heard of yet in the Springfield area.
Its called the Greene County 100 Club, and its all about helping your public servants families who’s loved ones pay the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the community. As a second generation firefighter, (father is Dale Bittle (pictured) retired from Springfield F.D. after 30 years of service) and a friend to many Springfield & Greene County Firefighters, and having a sister in law enforcement in Greene County, this organization is a nice piece of mind to those who risk their own lives protecting yours. There is no guarantee that when we put on our uniform and report for duty that we will make it back to see our family.
As a Firefighter in the St. Louis Metro I don’t have to worry about what happens to my family if I never make it home. I am protected by a similar organization called Backstoppers “The Police & Fireman’s Fund”, if I were to be killed in the line of duty my family will be completely taken care of financially. Backstoppers have been supporting the families of fallen firefighters and police officers for over 50 years now, and everyone in St. Louis supports them, from the St. Louis Cardinals to the mom and pop restaurant on the corner.
In these tough economic times, people are very particular where and how they spend their money. Why not get involved with the Greene County 100 Club, and give your customer the ability to not only get great products and services from your company, but the added bonus knowing that they gave back to the community. There are hundreds of ways to entice your customers to come in to your establishment to help out the Greene County 100 Club, with very little to no cost to you. Believe me, when I say it will bring people into your shop. Why not help out this great organization, and be one of the first companies in Springfield and Greene County to say “We Support Greene County 100 Club”!
For more information please feel free to contact me on my personal cell phone at 314.704.7853, or contact Green County 100 Club directly at 417.864.1739 or visit their website at www.greenecounty100club.com .
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
Shawn P. Bittle
