Hey all...Aaron and I just applied and got accepted to SARA! Southern AZ Rescue Association! They work under the Sheriff as volunteers who help those who are stranded--mostly on the mountain or on desert trails.
Out of 40 candidates this year, 20 were chosen. We were surprised to be one of the 20! Before we can officially volunteer, we are required to attend trainings on equipment and emergency care in the wild!
When grandma is unavailable, we are in need of help with our boys. Here are the dates. If you can help with a few or all boys at our house or yours that would be so awesome!
Sat Oct 17--9 am to midnight
Tues-Wed Oct 20-21--2:30 pm overnight to 8:30 am (Ok so this is not a SARA event, it is a bday present to go see U2 in Phoenix with Aaron's sister!)
Sat Nov 14--all day
Sat-Sun Nov 21-22--overnight
Sat Jan 16--all day
It is exciting to be doing this together! Aaron was a paramedic when we got married. I look forward to learning new skills and experiencing him in his element! |
