AHG has declared the third Saturday in September as the AHG National Day of Service!
Mark September 20th down and join others from our AHG Troop to serve others in our community! This is a parent/child or family event and a variety of times are available to help out.
Many people live with diabetes on a daily basis...and that includes some of our very own AHG members. Volunteer at this event and show your support to those who stand next to you at our AHG meetings. Our AHG board member, Jessica Williams, will be riding for one of those girls this year and for her dad.

What: Volunteer at the Tour de Cure bike ride in Rochester, MN
This is a ride that helps raise money for the American Diabetes Association. The ride also brings awareness and support to those who live with diabetes on a daily basis.
Who: Anyone can volunteer!
When: Saturday, September 20th. A variety of time slots are available throughout the entire day.
Where: The ride starts and finishes at the Rochester Area Family Y (by Soldiers Field). There are volunteer locations in additional places as well that help with the bikers on the bike route.
Why: The riders have all raised at least $200 just to be part of the ride...but they need YOU to be there for encouragement, pass them a snack, cheer them on and ring those cowbells (they are provided!) so they can go that extra mile.

Volunteers Needed for 3 ECHO - fast response needed
Hi AHG Families,
AHG received this message and volunteers are needed to help our first responders in our area. If you are able to help as an individual or family, please contact Tom directly. His information is listed at the bottom. Be sure to record your time on your service log!
3 ECHO is a method of responding to hostile shooting incidents. Columbine and other shooting incidents provide valuable lessons. In the past, law enforcement would respond and secure the scene. When the area was safe, Fire crews would enter and treat victims. However, time is critical when someone has been shot. Past experience shows that lives can be saved if victims and be treated quickly and removed to the hospital. 3 ECHO is a response method that gets medical crews to the victims as soon as possible. This training is highly complex, and requires both classroom and practical exercises for Fire and Police to learn how to respond effectively.
Volunteers help us by acting as victims who need to be treated and evacuated. As you can imagine, real people make the training experience better. If you can help by being a volunteer that would be fantastic. Below are the dates for training. Sgt. Faudskar is coordinating volunteers and his contact information is listed below.
