Volunteers Please note that as part of the volunteer application process, you will be required to submit copies of licenses, trainings and certifications, and a signed Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) form. When you submit your CORI form you will need to include a government photo identification, for example, a driver's license, which will have to be verified. In addition, a Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) background check will be performed. When you either call, or are called by the MRC Unit leader regarding your volunteer application, you will be provided with more detail about the application process.

Ed Mello, Jr., RN, EMS specialist is known throughout Hampden County and Western Massachusetts as the “go to guy” for information and assistance for EMT training. Ed’s leadership with the Greater Westfield and Western Hampden County MRC unit extends beyond his volunteer role as the coordinator of the MRC unit.
His commitment to building the MRC unit, which has matured to be an essential part of public health preparedness and response in Westfield, is remarkable. He has recruited a top-notch, diverse group of volunteers with expertise in Amateur Radio (HAM) communications, EMS, and community response. As a faculty member at Westfield State College, Ed has assisted in pioneering the emergency preparedness program that is positioning the college to become the premier educational institution for Homeland Preparedness in the northeast. Look for future announcements about a no-cost conference for MRC Coordinators and MRC team leaders in April 2010 at Westfield State College.

Colleagues: Initiated by Congress in 1994, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service transforms the federal holiday honoring Dr. King into a national day of community service. The commemoration has grown steadily from a local project to a nationwide movement, which honors the life and teachings of Dr. King.
Instead of seeing January 18th as just a day off from work, the Day of Service seeks to make the holiday a day for volunteerism, where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to strengthen their community, bridge social barriers, and move our Nation closer to the “beloved community” that Dr. King envisioned.
There are many ways for you and your families to get involved. To find an opportunity near you, visit: http://www.serve.gov/mlkday.asp#serve
