East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad

Tonight we had the honor to have multiple presentations to valued members of the station.
We were able to present a plaque to Sandy and Tommy for their involvement with Eagle Scout projects. One of these projects was rededicated to Jonathan Gurley, son of Tommy. After honoring those, we had our board elections and selected the board that will be installed for the next two years.
First of all, thank you to those that prepped the meal. It was amazing. Secondly, thank you to all the existing board members for your hard work, hours of service, and direction for the organization.
Finally, thank you to all the members who showed up to support the station and play an active part in the continuation of East Hanover!

Your East Hanover Crew today helping our fellow station, Ashland Volunteer Rescue Squad - Station 16, cover the yearly Ashland Strawberry Faire. We are providing the first out transport unit for the event. Looks like it’s going to be a great day! On the unit today from left to right is Captain Chris Parrish, NREMT Allison Schools and Driver/EMT Jay Eheart. If you are at the Faire today, stop by AVRS’s First Aid Tent at the Fountain and say hi!

Our thoughts and prayers are with our sister rescue squad and the Bomgardner family.

It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of our Lieutenant and Life Member Roger Bomgardner. Roger was a father, husband, son, nurse, paramedic and a great friend. Please keep Roger’s wife and kids in your prayers while they grieve. Roger, you may been gone but you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend!

Tonight, our board had the opportunity to honor a great community partner, Anna's Italian Restaurant during our final meeting. Next month we elect a new board. Anna’s has supported us by feeding our crews, sponsoring events and training, and, more importantly, valued friendships. Thank you for your decades of support.
