The Warm Feeling Of Helping People

“It was refreshing and heart warming to see residents pull together Sunday 

at the MRA. After a mother had noticed her small child missing she notified 

the lifeguard. The lifeguard very professionally lined up volunteers ( 

everybody on the beach volunteered) to "walk" the water, looking for the 

child.


A short time later , much to everyone's relief,  the child was found 

returning from the bathroom.


The point here is that when its important, when they're really needed 

people come together to help each other.”


Thats right Mr. DeAngelis it is a great thing, but you know this type of thing happens almost every day of the week in Middlebury, and you know where it happens?  At the Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department.  Almost on a daily basis, and sometimes several times a day, members of the Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department drop whatever they are doing at the time and hurry to help their fellow residents.


Why not be a volunteer yourself.  Take an EMT-Basic course and you too can enjoy that warm feeling inside.
