Treasure Map Update Quincy Chamber of Commerce Is your business doing a little "extra" for Safe Trick-or-Treat? Decorating face masks or making Trick-or-Treat bags? Flash mob, anyone? Let us know and we'll add you to our first-ever Treasure Map for Safe Trick-or-Treat. Don't know what it is? We're putting together a "map" of various places around town to direct folks to for some added fun during (and after) Safe Trick-or-Treat. Extras would be anything besides handing out candy, or if you're not directly downtown where the bulk of the action is. Maps are free and will be available at the Quincy Chamber of Commerce booth in front of the courthouse during the event and posted on our social media sites before Safe Trick-or-Treat. Deadline to be added to the map is Friday, October 22nd at 5:00 p.m. Music on the Green Revival Plumas Arts Plumas Arts and Indian Valley community members are working with PUSD to put this event on. Please spread the word. STOP! Quincy Chamber of Commerce WE NEED YOUR HELP! We only need THREE (3) MORE adult volunteers to help with Crossing Guard duty during Safe Trick-or-Treat. If you're interested, send us an email at info@quincychamber.com. Volunteers will meet in front of the Courthouse at the Quincy Chamber of Commerce booth at 2:30 p.m. on October 29th, where adults will be given stop signs and the S Club student volunteers will be given safety vests. Adults and students will be paired up to cover all the crosswalks on Main Street from Subway to Plumas Bank. Pay is strictly with heaping levels of gratitude and seeing a bunch of happy kids (and adults) during one of our area's most beloved events.

REMSA Receives Award REMSA Health We are proud to announce that we have been recognized by the American Heart Association as a Mission: Lifeline - EMS Gold Plus award recipient. Mission: Lifeline EMS recognition is a program designed to showcase Emergency Medical Service organizations across the nation for excellent STEMI care. A STEMI is the most severe type of heart attack. Along with bystanders, prehospital personnel are the first providers of care to patients suffering from cardiac emergencies. The role of EMS in the system-of-care for these patients is crucial and often sets the course for the patient's outcome. REMSA Health was selected as part of an elite group of prehospital agencies for our commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of prehospital care for patients experiencing heart attack symptoms. This means that every patient receives treatment according to nationally accepted recommendations and standards. This recognition would not be possible without the dedication of our crews and their consistent commitment to clinical excellence.
