Greeting to you all, my fellow BET’s!
Well, it’s that time of year again…or, at least it was back
in June when I missed it. Time to raise
awareness of and renew your CPR/AED certification! Funny how I don’t have this observance day
memorized, yet I can tell you at the drop of a hat when National Pizza Day is…February
9th, if you are wondering.
Now because I am an employee of a school system, I have to
be certified by the American Red Cross in CPR/AED to continue my employment and
to be licensed as an educator by the state. (Just renewed mine this month!)
But even if you aren’t required to do so, it is a great idea. According to the American Red Cross, approximately
92,000 are saved by CPR each year! Why
not be prepared if you are ever in a situation where you might be needed to
perform this on a person in peril?
Training is offered by the American Red Cross and you can
find classes in your area by visiting their website, http://www.redcross.org/. The training can cost anywhere from nothing
to around a hundred dollars. Training is
also offered by private individuals, so you might ask around the area where you
live. You might find a group of people
of like mind that are willing to set up a training just for your small group,
which might be more cost effective.
So, don’t be a dummy!
Get trained and spread the word. Someone’s
life may depend on it!
