Corps holds Fund Drive The Allendale Ambulance Corps has announced its annual Fund Drive is now under way. The corps reminds Allendale residents and business that the volunteer squad relies on the support of the com- munity to provide ambulance service for citizens 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to the emergency service, the corps maintains and enhances the skills of the borough’s EMTs, provides commu- nity education, participates in civic events, recruits and trains new volunteer members, and assists area towns during emergencies. Donations, which are tax deductible, may be sent to Allendale Ambulance Corps, Inc., 26 Arcadia Road, Allendale New Jersey 07401. For more information, visit www.allendaleambulance.org. In 2014, the corps has plans to expand its community education program to include training on basic hands-only CPR and how to use an AED (automated external defi- brillator). These skills can save a life. Earlier this year, AVAC offered “Family and Friends” CPR classes at the Lee Memo- rial Library. There was no cost for these classes, which were taught by AVAC EMT volunteers. For more information about upcoming classes, e-mail cprtraining@all endaleambulance.org.
