Partner Subscriptions provide an opportunity for individuals who wish to participate with the Fire Warden's Association and receive information, to do so. The Montana County Fire Warden's Association strives to be a cost neutral association and use our finances smartly. We are utilizing an Association Management Software platform to reduce the over head for the board and provide better communication for our members and partners. As this does have a fiscal cost, we are asking our partners to help support the associations costs for this level of communication. The $10.00 is not required to obtain a subscription, simply ignore the invoice.
