The Winner VFW Auxiliary #4674 awarded the Tripp County EMT Cadets with a check that they can use to purchase needed educational items and other items used by the cadets to help in carrying out the duties of an EMT. The Cadets assisted the auxiliary throughout the past year with several projects including laying the auxiliary markers on the deceased auxiliary graves during Memorial Day activities; assisting the guests during a celebration of 50 year- plus members and recognition of special yearly awards; their annual holiday wreath sales; and the buddy poppy campaign.
The Cadets consists of youths age 16 and older, several who have belong more than two years. Recently eight additional students have joined their ranks and have begun training. When a Cadet graduates from the program, they are eligible to take the EMT course and take the national exam to become a licensed EMT.
Bev Vaughn, recently retired director of the program, highly praised the group for their willingness to learn, adapt to new ideas and excel in their skills. They are encouraged to participate by volunteering in community activities. Korie Pravecek has been hired as the director of the Cadets
