Reminder: Local CPR and First Aid Training Opportunity for Friends

[mabfan]

Nomi and I have arranged for a friend, Carsten Turner, who is a certified instructor, to teach us CPR and First Aid at our place. He's willing to open up his class to any of our friends in the area that want or need certification.

Carsten will be teaching layperson CPR for adult, child, and infant, including choke-saving (what was previously known as the Heimlich maneuver) and the use of AED, along with First Aid. If we can get a few more people to take the class, it'll only cost $50 per person for the CPR part, and $80 total for those who also stay for First Aid. In addition to getting a wallet card showing certification, you'll also get a book with a CD. Also, if anyone wants to purchase a pocket face mask, Carsten has wallet-size ones for $10 and a larger one that's $15.

We're planning to hold the class on Sunday, June 28 at our place, from 1 pm to about 6 pm. If you're interested in signing up, reply here or send me an email as soon as possible, as I need to give him a number by Wednesday.

I've been considering getting certified again. Why not?

I edited the post to note that the class is from 1 pm to 6 pm, and I need to give him an exact number by Wednesday. If you're a go, I'll add you to the list as confirmed. (If you only want to do one of the classes, either CPR or First Aid, let me know.)

What a cool thing to do.
