| Pt VI, Line 15a | Line 18 & 19: The Bridgewater Association files detailed financial and administrative reports with the State Association each year, including Form 990.

Membership in the Association is open to fire fighters from the five Companies located in Bridgewater who meet the initial physical and age requirements of Fire Department membership. |
