Meet Debbie our Chaplain….
1. What inspired you to join the first aid squad?
Actually, I saw an ad in the Wayne Today that said the Wayne Memorial First Aid Squad needed volunteers and that retirees should consider becoming a member to serve our community.
I wasn’t retired, and I thought I was too old, but I sent my application in anyway and was delighted to get a call back from Daria, who said that my age was no problem!
I have always loved helping people and giving back; even when I ran my gymnastics and swim programs over the years, so I hoped I would be a good fit.
2. What’s the most rewarding part of being on the squad?
Oh, there’s many rewarding parts. Being trusted by the squad to be their Chaplain and the great feeling I get when I’ve helped somebody and saved their day. Not to mention, the feeling of becoming a part of the wonderful family the Wayne First Aid Squad squad is.
3. What are your hobbies outside of the squad?
Being with my grandchildren is always at the top of my list. I love bike riding and could spend the whole day going all over the place exploring. I also love teaching; I’ve been teaching since I was 17. And I believe ice cream is a food group. You should have it every day!
