EMS Region III, through the New Mexico Trauma System Fund, has been awarded funds for a Volunteer EMT Scholarship Program. The program aims to reward current NM volunteer EMT personnel for their fine service in protecting our communities. The program is intended to support and extend EMS training beyond a community or service’s normal capacity; enabling rural services and volunteer EMTs in NM to access training opportunities that are offered at the EMS Region III Conference, and which a training budget would normally not support. Approved scholarships will be for up to $125 and are available statewide for those who fit the eligibility criteria (Volunteer EMT in New Mexico) and who are interested in attending an EMS Conference known for providing quality and excellent trauma education. Upon receipt of application, you will be notified immediately of approval or denial. Applications may be faxed to (575) 769-3485. Click here for a Volunteer EMT Scholarship Application, or call (575) 769-2639. Special note: All registrants must pay full price for the conference, and upon approval of funding, EMS Region III will be providing reimbursements after the conference is completed.

There are many noteworthy acts performed every day by EMS providers across Region III. It is not possible to recognize the hundreds of providers responsible for those many good deeds.

We will salute and honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine’s “front line” Saturday afternoon.

EMS Region III "Partners for Life" Dance

Friday, April 29, 7:30PM
Sponsored by AeroCare, Texico FD, Roswell FD, Professional Ambulance

Will Banister, country singer/songwriter hailing from Portales, NM, is no newcomer to the music business. He has been singing in the West Texas, Eastern New Mexico area since he was 10 years old. He has amazed audiences singing Merle, Hank, Lefty and all the great country classics. His smooth voice is ideal for country music, and many fans compare his voice to George Straight, Alan Jackson and Merle Haggard.

The Mulberry Band is one of the most versatile bands in the nation, featuring Johnny and Jill Mulhair, and Duane Castleberry. Johnny Mulhair co-produced one of the biggest hit CD's in the history of country music (LeAnn Rimes "Blue") He was also noted as top 10 guitarist in Nashville's "Music Row" magazine in 1997, and has been amazing fans with his talents for years. Jill Mulhair, is a top-notch vocalist, who is often compared to Emmylou Harris. She offers both strong lead and harmony vocals to the band, and keeps a strong steady rhythm on bass. Duane Castleberry also lends great lead and harmony vocals to the group, and is one of the areas finest drummers.

Together, Will Banister and the Mulberry Band have quickly become one of the most sought after bands in our area, playing both Country Music, and Classic Rock from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. They have played weddings, conventions, honky-tonks, fairs and festivals and much more. From George Jones to Lynard Skynard. From Johnny Rodriquez to Dire Straits. This band does it all! And now…Johnny Mulhair has recorded Will's new CD of all original songs that Will wrote for his new CD, "Turned her on to Country".

Will's CD was recorded at Johnny Mulhair's Recording Studio in Clovis. The CD is traditional country music with a modern twist, and features many of the finest musicians in the area. The CD has 11 tracks of real country music, each track as good as the last. Named Best NEW ARTIST OF 2010 by Honky-Tonk Junkies.com, you’ll want to add this one to your collection! The dance is open to all conference attendees from 7:00PM – closing.
