| 説明 | BLMERS #GIVINGBACK: Spreading Good Cheer All Year! “What to my wondering eyes should appear,” but a fire truck all alight with Christmas Cheer and Old St. Nick riding to deliver packages to the children of Valdez, Alaska. One of Santa’s helpers is BLM Alaska Branch of Pipeline Monitoring employee Rhonda R. Williams. As Vice President of the Port Valdez chapter of the Alaska State Firefighters Association and a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) for the Valdez Fire Department, she helps organize the annual “Santa Snow Town Deliveries” event. Members of the community nominate specific children and donate the gifts they want Santa to deliver. Rhonda loads the presents up and drives the truck. The Alaska State Chapter and Port Valdez Chapter of firefighters also participate in fundraisers throughout the year to support a local smoke detector replacement program, a children’s eyeglass program, fire relief, and fund scholarships. The holiday season is not the only time Rhonda gives back to her community. She volunteers year round as an EMT. At times, she has worked around the clock after responding to an overnight fire or accident in the Valdez area. Rhonda serves as a volunteer EMT at the Valdez Winter Carnival’s Polar Bear Splash-In and for local snow mobile races. She has also provided safety and first aid classes for the Coast Guard in Valdez. |
