Twp Washington EMS Participates in Little League Season Opening

Members of the Volunteer Ambulance Corps recently took part in the Township of Washington Falcons Little League Baseball/Softball’s 2019 Season Opening Day Ceremony on Sat. April 27, 2019, at the township's Clark Field. This is an annual event during which representatives of all of the Township’s emergency services are recognized and the Corps participates.

Corpsmembers brought the ambulance and provided a standby emergency crew for the event and also gladly took part in the league’s season opening ceremony. The Corps also set up a recruiting station while present, and announcements were made that the Corps is in need of more members.

The Corps remains hopeful that its participation in this event may inspire a young man or woman to some day serve as a first responder. The positive interactions with the children of the community will make them more comfortable to approach emergency services in any time of need. The Corps is proud to have supported the many up-and-coming young athletes in this league!

Members who participated included: Captain Robert S. Rayve, Lieutenant Justin G. Tsai, EMT Rich Miras, and EMR Linda Husslein. The Corps thanks the league for inviting us once again to participate and wishes all the various teams the very best of luck for the upcoming season!
