A Cure for the Empty Nest Syndrome
At the 2016 Glen Rock Community Showcase, Mary Jane Surrago discusses how singles or couples find new social lives and rewarding use of their time by joining the Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps. It provides an opportunity to meet new people, to be involved and join an organization that prides itself for community services. Classes to become an Emergency Medical Technician will get you out of the house and provide you with valuable skills. Attending monthly drills and business meetings will get you involved with residents of all ages who come from all walks of life. Our members are high school students, young parents, nurses, attorneys, business owners, teachers, business owners and other professionals. And yes, empty nesters! Many members form lasting friendships – duty crews meet to have coffee, discuss the week's events, do rig checks or just hang out together.
