Roanoke VFD will refund money from summer portrait fund-raiser

The Roanoke Volunteer Fire Department is working to refund money to people who ordered but did not receive family portraits through a fund-raiser sponsored by the fire department over the summer, Fire Chief Chad Taylor says.

During the fund-raiser, Taylor says, the department accepted donations and also sold family portraits.

The company that was hired to take and distribute the portraits has apparently gone out of business, Taylor says.

The company kept the money paid for the portraits but did not deliver the pictures, he says.

"We will make every effort to reimburse people for their photos," Taylor says.

Anyone who paid for portraits they did not receive should contact Taylor at 615-2469 to arrange for a refund.
