Payment can be made by credit card, online, or by check at the Extension office. Checks should be made out to American Cancer Society.

• Volunteers are
needed for the county’s Emergency Medical Service!
Currently, there are 10
certified volunteers, but more certified personnel are needed, according to
Emergency Medical Coordinator Christy Seidenberger. Among the reasons for needed
additional personnel are state regulations which require that two certified
persons ride in the back of an ambulance, and that at least one certified person
help move a stretcher.
The
county pays for certification training. Anyone interested in this important work
should contact Seidenberger at 354-2243 or 354-2314.
