“I feel SAAS is such an important group to be a part of and it provides such a sense of satisfaction and pride giving back to those in a time of need. The ongoing training, theory and workshops provided by SAAS are fantastic. The Cleve station meets weekly for training, so we are continuously learning new skills and updating techniques. ”
