EMS Dinner on the 23rd of September at The Spot, if any EMT goes to the meeting the meal will be paid. Recruitment posters available to be placed in the community.

OLD BUSINESS: Events coverage - Gayle thanked everyone for their participation during the summer at local events. Frank voiced concern over where the ambulance was placed in the Fall Festival parade and not having access to leave if needed. Laurie will talk with the organizer of the parade and work out details.

Field Bridge and Leaders: Discussion on use of Field Bridge, Gayle will set up a training session in October with Laura Krist. Talked about how important it is to get the run posted and completed appropriately for highest percent of reimbursement. There was some discussion on how much money had been received to date; it is currently up from last year at this point and on track for meeting budget goals. No official update possible where we should be according to number of runs.

Discussion was held on how to document calls if we are paged out and there is no ambulance available or not enough coverage. The EMT responding should always document on paper who, what, where when, why the call was not taken by SSAA and what an EMT did for the patient while waiting on the responding service to arrive. Give full report to the service taking over, this can be done verbally or in writing. Also complete one of the paper reports and place in the locked file cabinet next to the desk in the hall. When EMTs respond to one of this type of call and email should be sent to Laurie so she has a trail and can pay the person for their run. If you are on call you should always respond with or without the ambulance or full crew and call for mutual aide.

EMT MENTORING PROGRAM: Discussion will continue on this topic at the October meeting, and is likely to be more involved once students obtain their temporary student license and are able to assist on runs. Several people offered to have their name on the contact list for helping out the individuals.

BUDGET: Gayle updated all on the 4 town meeting that was held the end of August. Budget proposal and approval is in progress with The Town of Clover.

NEW BUSINESS: Laurie talked about the VFIS Length of Service Awards. Any participants in the program who are close to age 60 should get more information form The Horton Group insurance to review their options. All new EMT s can be registered for this benefit. Gayle will do paperwork necessary for registering the new members from the Town of Clover with Sheryl's assistance.

POLICY Committee: The SSAA needs to develop internal policies related to our service. Gayle, Cindy L, Sheryl and Marcia will work on these.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM: Discussion on the program. Some suggestions were made for changes/additions. Laurie talked about the importance of completing the ambulance check list if you are doing the routine checks; this includes cleaning the hall and moving trash to the garage for removal later to the recycling center.
