Nicole Gerber
(Chief/President)
One of the perks we are able to offer is priority housing. If you are a junior or sophomore and would like to get housing through LEMS next year, please sign up. We will pick our eight people who receive housing on the basis of your contribution to the organization, which includes riding your shifts, showing up to meetings, fulfilling standby credits, etc.
The exec board will now be holding office hours, the schedule will be posted soon.
Our members have been invited to join Pennington Road FAS. Their hours are very flexible and they would really appreciate it. It would also be a great benefit to our members because you will be exposed to a much wider variety of situations when on call. If you would like to join, see an exec board member or email lionsems@tcnj.edu and we will get you an application.
George Apostolopoulos
(Deputy Chief)
Sunday’s pie eating contest stand by has a crew assigned to it now. Please keep an eye on the game and come over to TW when it is half time.
There will be a new schedule and list of responding numbers coming out soon. Some crews now have five members. If you have not been responding to calls we will be taking you off the schedule because we have lots of members who want to be on call and cant right now.
The coCC buddy system has gone into effect.
CPR and First aid cards from last semester are in. If you did not pick yours up, please do so.
There were four CPR classes scheduled for this weekend but this may be reduced to two. If you want to take CPR email cumming4@tcnj.edu ASAP and put your preferred day (Saturday or Sunday). The time is currently TBA while the classes are finalized. The cost is $65.
There will be drills coming up soon with Pennington Road FAS.
