I want to once again thank the members of Monroe Twp Ambulance And Rescue Association for doing such a great job with this storm. Since The storm started, we have had a total of 17 ems calls. About 70% of the call volume was west of sicklerville rd. Thus having the ambulance stationed on glassboro rd worked out perfect. Response times were excellant even with the conditions. Total manhours for this weekend was 444 hours. This saves the Twp about $8500.00 in labor costs. below is a list of the members and the hours put in. Great job

Steve Brown, Robert Lee,  Brian Dimter, Jim Hein, Matt Mills, Anna Mills, Dominic Jacobs, Stephanie Seeley, Joe Thomas, Lauren Schaeffer, Travis Young, Caroline Gruss, Steve Weiss, Marc Elentrio, Steve Pinelli, Kelly Fannelli

Monroe Township Ambulance and Rescue has put its Storm Matrix in effect at aprox 1800hrs, February 4th lasting as long as conditions warrant. Crews from Monroe Twp Amb and Rescue are joining firefighters from the Williamstown Fire Department to cover the township should the need arise for EMS services.

Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is part of Learning for Life’s career education program for young men and women who are 16 through 20 years old.

Exploring’s purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.

Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and leadership experience.

This has been a long time coming and the association is expecting alot of great things to happen from our explorers’. More news to follow soon!
