[edit] Role of the Brigade
This article is saying that the Brigade teaches first aid. Is this intensional? In North America the brigade does not do this, so I just wondered. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 06:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
The Priory of St John in New York (as part of the St John in America) fulfills the role of fundraiser for the Eye Hospital in Jerusalem, Isreal. This is one goal of the Order of St John around the world, but some St. John Brigades or Priorys provide medical aid to the sick directly with ambulance divisions. Last time I spoke to the Priory in the United States they had an ambulance brigade in the pipeline, but I don't know if this has happened. The Irish St John Ambulance Brigade not only teachs first aid but also provides trained volunteer members for 'duties' like football matchs or concerts [mrbearbear83] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrbearbear83 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
