Looking Back in Terrace Park of Both Academic and Practical Ex- He Felt the Current Council Would Feel Perience in Accounting

Volume XXVIII Issue 4 April 2002

From the Village Views Board: The June issue will be our editor's final edition. The paper has been a vital component of our community for over 33 years. In order to continue, we are in urgent need of a new editor and reporters. You do not need to be an experienced journalist. An interest in writing about events and people in your community is sufficient. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Cyndy Finnigan at 831-5121 as soon as possible. The future of this paper depends on you!

They are required to undergo training and must pass both written and practical exams for certification. Supplementary training drills are held two Monday evenings a month for members. Being an EMT is a highly re- warding and stimulating experience. Volunteers are always needed to join the ranks! Please consider volunteering with this fun, energetic group of people. It is a hands-on community service; benefiting both you, your family and your neighbors. Pete Findley, Annie Bauer and David Schloss awaiting for customers at the Annual Pancake Supper
