Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES Area IV • October 27, 2010 The Veterans of Foreign Wars Posts in Bergen County have unveiled and launched a first-of-its-kind website in VFW District 2. Interested individuals may log on at www.vfwdistrict2nj.com. The members of the ad hoc website committee include Steve Vreeland, chairman, Post 7502 of Franklin Lakes; John Kelly Sr.; Thomas Marshall, Post 809 of Little Ferry; Charles Tanner, Post 805 of Glen Rock; Frank Zabransky, Post 809 of Little Ferry, and Stanley Kober, Post 192 of Ho-Ho-Kus/Ridgewood. District Two Commander John J. Kelly Sr. of Mahwah VFW Post 7124 said the committee “wanted to provide a quick and easy mode of communication for our members and other veterans, while allowing the public to see what we’re all about. As I said in my remarks to our members earlier this year, we want to take our lamp from under the bushel and let people know what’s going on with the VFW in Bergen County. But, most importantly, we want to give easy access to all veterans to the important information that is out there to meet their needs regardless of age or military experience.” Webmaster Kober, District 2 adjutant/chief of staff and commander of the Washington Elm VFW Post 192, worked with Dina Dadian, vice president of Web operations at powersolution, Inc. in Ho-Ho-Kus to implement the website. Kober said the overarching goal stated by District Commander Kelly at the outset was made possible by keeping the website simple to use, appealing, informative, and as intuitive as possible. “There is a vast amount of information out there for veterans and it is our job to make that information accessible for them and their families,” Kober said. “We look forward to the use of it by our veterans and others and welcome their input for consideration in making the district’s website the best it can be.” The Veterans of Foreign Wars District Two has been the official VFW organization for Bergen County since VFW District 2 announces launch of new website 1946. All military personnel on active duty or honorably discharged veterans who wish to help make a beneficial difference for other veterans, active duty personnel, and their families, should contact their local VFW Post in Bergen County, or go to www.vfwdistrict2nj. com/ and click on the FIND A POST button.

The members of Mahwah Ambulance & Rescue Squad Co #1 thank everyone who participated in the group’s recent fundraiser held at Mahwah Pizza & Pasta. Hany Gerges, one of the restaurant’s owners, contacted Karen Meyer of Co #1 Ambulance and offered to donate a percentage of his total sales for a six-hour period to the squad. The money raised will be earmarked for training and uniforms, according to Liz Villano, captain of Co #1 Ambulance. The State of New Jersey recently cut about $4 million from the EMT Training Fund. Without these training monies, EMTs might be forced to pay for their own training, including continuing education. Mahwah Ambulance & Rescue Squad, Co #1 is staffed by volunteers and provides free emergency medical services to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Mahwah. The company answered over 1,000 calls last year. The squad welcomes new members. Call (201) 252-8282 or e-mail JoinMahwahEMS@gmail.com.
