Free CPR and defibrillator classes for Village residents

The Village Council has authorized the use of funds from a former scholarship account to provide free CPR and defibrillator training for residents. The Council wants to give residents the opportunity to learn how to provide immediate, potentially lifesaving care. Sudden Cardiac Arrest is one of the leading causes of death in this country every year. Many of these deaths are preventable with the use of CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED). We have arranged with the lifesaving training firm Rescue One to offer a 3.5-hour certification class at the Village Center. You can sign up for any one of the following dates: Saturday, Oct. 11, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 18, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Monday, Oct. 20, 4:30 to 8 p.m. All classes are free.
