An Ambulance Emergency

The Saturna ambulance, which has served the island well for many years, has attended its last call and must be replaced.

In the great tradition of the island, generous community support has been offered. The Saturna Community Club (SCC) has pledged $5,000 towards the estimated $8,500 (plus GST) cost of a used vehicle. The Saturna Lions Club has pledged $1,500 and the Saturna Island Women's Club will contribute $750.

This leaves a $750 shortfall. Dawn Wood, chairperson of the SCC Health Services Committee, has asked if SIPOA's members can help.

All members of the SIPOA executive committee have pledged their personal financial support to the new ambulance fund. Please consider adding your donation to ensure this volunteer community service is there when you call for help.

Donations can be sent to SIPOA, PO Box 27, Saturna V0N 2Y0. We would like to send SCC a cheque by the end of August so if you wish to donate it will be helpful to have it by mid August.

Please call me if you have any questions.
