    • "I did not join the ambulance to be away from my family, to spend time at meetings, seminars, and fundraisers. I did join to help my family, friends, and neighbors should one of them be injured or become ill. To help, I needed EMS training. I spend the time at the meetings, the seminars, the training sessions and the fundraisers so that when the pager goes off

    I can respond

    I can make a difference

    And as a team

    WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER

    To serve our community".
