The Killingworth Ambulance Association holds its annual board of directors meeting on Wednesday, April 28, and it will be the first of its kind. That’s because the board won’t meet at the KAA headquarters on Route 81, as it has in past years. Instead, the meeting will be conducted by a Zoom conference call – a procedure the board has followed for all monthly meetings since February, 2020, because of COVID protocol. The conference, which will include the naming of the association’s board of directors, is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. For more information please contact the KAA at (860) 663-2450.

The Killingworth Ambulance Association is still receiving applications for its 2021 scholarships, but they must be completed and postmarked no later than Friday, April 23.

The KAA each year offers scholarships to graduating seniors enrolled in private or public high schools. However, they’re available only to residents of Killingworth who plan on continuing their educations at two-or-four-year academic institutions.

In addition, those applicants must meet the follow criteria: 1) Major in the medical, emergency services (fire, police, etc.) or other allied fields; 2) engage in community service and 3) maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher in their high-school careers.

Applications are available at Haddam-Killingworth, Mercy and Xavier High Schools or may be obtained by clicking here.

The KAA has awarded 15 scholarships over the past four years, including eight in the last two. For more information please contact the KAA at (860) 663-2450.
