American Heart Awareness month, #HeartMonth, is designated as the month of February by the CDC and numerous other organizations.  The Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad is pleased to announce several new programs, and held a few events that occurred throughout February with our members, all focused on delivering better service to our patients and community.

Now in its ninth year, the annual "Bring the Heat" Chili Cook-Off is now accepting entries from local residents and restaurants. The cook-off is a fundraiser, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad.

"We raised $1,800 for the squad last year and we'd like to increase that amount in 2015," says Kathy Lukasik, President of the Newcomers Club of North Hunterdon, a women's club that cosponsors the cook-off with the Knights of Columbus, Council 6245.

This year's event will be held on Saturday, April 25, at 4 p.m. at the Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad, 48 Old Hwy. 22, Route 173 in Clinton. There will also be a tricky tray, a 50/50 raffle with five chances to win, music, and beer and wine for sale.

Chili lovers who just want to come out and taste up to 25 chilis pay $15 at the door ($12 in advance). Children under 12 are free. Tasters can also vote for the People's Choice individual and restaurant winners. Advance tickets can be purchased at http://www.payitsquare.com/collect-page/57813.
