Chamber Members Hear Backstoppers Plea

(Bonne Terre, MO) Members of the Bonne Terre Chamber of commerce are looking into membership, and donations, for the Backstoppers organization after Wednesday's monthly Chamber luncheon. Big River Bonne Terre Fire Chief, David Pratte, told the crowd the mission of the Backstoppers is to provide for the families of fallen emergency services personnel.

Pratte also said The Backstoppers always need donations yet memberships can be beneficial and provide the revenue needed to run the organization while assisting families. If you would like to join the Backstoppers Pratte says simply talk with any policeman, fireman, or E.M.T. personnel. You can find out more about the group at backstopper.org
