American Red Cross Lifesaving Courses
Adult and
pediatric first aid, CPR and AED courses are scheduled for Nov. 10
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there is nothing better
than the smiling faces brought together by turkey, dressing and pumpkin
pie. Besides the delicious food, though, Thanksgiving is a time
time-honored tradition, like football and listening to crazy Uncle
Frank’s embarrassing stories of everyone for the 20th time.
The problem is, crazy Uncle Frank does not like to stop laughing and
telling his stories while eating, which can lead to a deadly
combination—choking. If crazy Uncle Frank stops talking and begins to
clutch his throat, would you know what to do?
The Red Cross may not be able to help the quality of Uncle Frank’s
stories, but it can help teach you what to do if someone chokes on a
piece of turkey or pumpkin pie—and that’s exactly what it will do
during the adult and pediatric first aid, CPR and AED course offered in
Greenville on Thursday, Nov. 10, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Darke
County Chapter, 130 Martz St.
The course provides, literally, hands-on experience in addition to an
animated pre-class learning component. Rather than the standard “read
and take a multiple-choice quiz” formula, the Red Cross took a page
from the Xbox and Wii generation and students now use an interactive,
animated, virtual learning formula to teach the course basics.
The course also results in a two-year Red Cross certification and meets
OSHA workplace requirements. The price for the course ranges from $55
to $85, depending on how many components to the course are chosen.
Advanced registration is required. Signing up is easy—register online
at redcross.org/take-a-class—and then you can rest easy knowing you
will be able to help Uncle Frank.
