COMMUNITY PARADE
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER
4TH
On Saturday
September 4th, at 3:30pm there will be a parade held in honor of
Throop resident Zach Stein. Zach is a 2 year old
boy who has recently been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor
called an anaplastic ependymoma. The parade is part of a
community fund raiser for Zach.
The
parade will begin at 412 Champion Circle in School Side Estates,
then move onto Underwood Rd., progress down Sanderson St. to
lower Throop, and follow Bellman St. to Rebecca St, then follow
Boulevard Ave. to Polonia Park in Dickson City.
There will
be a chicken BBQ and various raffles at the Park to help raise
money for Zach. Please come out to support this
event. Zach's mother, Jennifer, is a member of the Ladies
Auxiliary of Throop Fire Company #2. |

The
Dickson City Community Ambulance is expecting.....
Twins!
It’s official…..
after two months of discussions, examining demonstration
vehicles, and meeting with manufacturers, the members of
the Dickson City Community Ambulance have chosen the
next set of ambulances that will serve the boroughs of
Dickson City and Throop for years to come.
At the July 2010
monthly meeting, the members of the Dickson City
Community Ambulance Association voted to move ahead and
begin the process of purchasing two identical Ford
“Field Duty - 160” Type
III ambulances from the Medtec Ambulance Corporation of
Goshen, Indiana. These ambulances were ordered
through
Chris Woolfolk at our
local Medtec dealer,
Glick Fire Equipment.
These two vehicles
have been carefully designed by our members to meet our
needs taking into consideration patient care, safety,
and ease of use. They will feature Ford E-450 diesel
chassis, LED lighting inside and out, and more storage
space than our current ambulances. The members of our
organization are very excited about these new trucks.
We expect to take delivery of these vehicles in mid
November.
