Ambulance fund drive
The Ashley Ambulance Association is appealing to residents to respond.
As the fund drive nears its end, only 510 families have responded, along
with 15 businesses and clubs. That’s less than one half of all families in
Ashley.
The association raised the doantion fee to $10 per family and $5 per
individual.
Your donation could save you the health insurance deductible on your policy
or even hundreds of dollars if you don’t have health coverage.
For more information, call Ed Holland Jr. at 829-5702.
