Light The Night
The William P. Faist Volunteer Ambulance Corps drove through neighborhoods as part of its 2010 "Light the Night" from 5 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31. The corps members were making sure trick-or-treaters and their families were safe. The ambulance crews distributed glow sticks to the little ghosts and goblins, so that drivers will see the children more easily. "Light the Night" was also a chance for the community to interact with the crews in a nonemergency situation.

A Great Loss
It is with deep regret that the William P. Faist Volunteer Ambulance Corps announces the passing of Saul Smolar life member and one of the founding members of the corps. After 34 years of service he left us on Sunday Nov 14, 2010 in the early hours of the morning after a short battle with leukemia. Saul was loved by many as a Husband, a Father, a Grandfather, and a freind. He is also a Korean War Veteran whom served with the Navy.
In Need of a New Home
We have out grown our headquarters which has been our home for over 30 years. Due to our ever increasing operational requirements, available space in our existing headquarters is non-existent. We must also comply with new Federal and State regulations as soon as possible. The Corps is looking to acquire property centrally located in the Village of Chestnut Ridge. If you are aware of any property please contact us. communications@faistvac.com.
