Camp Rescue 2010 at the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad in Deltaville attracted 34 youngsters last Thursday. Camp director Lorie Messina of the MCVRS issued the following statement this week:
“This is to thank all those that made Camp Rescue 2010 at the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad in Deltaville such an awesome experience. Thirty-four young adults learned much about safety while having a fun time in the process, and went home with T-shirts and an assortment of goodies,” said Messina.
“Thanks to the Southside Sentinel for publishing our press releases; Lynn Jaeger and her associate Nancy Fisher from the Middlesex Prevention Coalition for showing the video on teenage drinking and the interesting board game they had the campers play; the crew of Life Evac III who surprised the children with an exciting helicopter visit; Ralph Priestley and his assistant Joann for the interesting talk of water and boating safety; Jen Kostyniuk from Dominion Virginia Power for the talk on electrical safety; the many organizations that contributed all of those fun goodies for the young attendees; squad members and assistants who gave presentations, and to those members who worked throughout the day; Bob Cerullo, who did the PR for Camp Rescue, which was instrumental in its ‘filled to capacity’ enrollment; and a special thanks to our great ladies auxiliary for its support and contributions to this event,” said Messina.
“To all the young adults who attended this year’s camp, you were a great group and we thank you for sharing July 22nd with us. We hope to see some of you again next July,” said Messina.
