[South Florida DX Association] Free American Red Cross Essential CPR and First Aid Training March 19th

[Robin Terrill]

Tony Annese, KG4EXA  from the American Red Cross had asked me to pass this
information to  Ham radio operators who reside in Broward County..  This
would be a great way to learn  how you can save a life and for those that
took these courses a while ago would be a great way to get a free refresher.


 

Free American Red Cross Essential CPR and First Aid Training March 19th

Join the American Red Cross as we host the Gabrielle Giffords Honorary
Save-a-Life Saturday on March 19, 2011.

Just over a month ago, the events that unfolded in Arizona reminded the
nation of the importance of being prepared in the event of an emergency.
Many of the bystanders knew CPR and first aid and were able to save the
lives of several victims, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who
received help from her intern Daniel Hernandez.

On March 19th, in more than 100 locations across the nation, the Red Cross
will provide fast and easy classes to teach the basics of hands-only CPR,
the treatment of shock and how to treat wounds. The classes will be
shortened versions of Red Cross training courses, lasting approximately 45
minutes to one hour and offered multiple times during the day.

Best of all, the courses are being offered free of charge through the
generosity of our sponsors, Safeway and Walgreens.

More than 25 percent of Americans say they've been involved in a situation
where someone needed CPR. Now is the chance to get trained in the skill that
will keep your community safe and help save a life.
