American Red
Cross Offers Citizen CPR
“Lake Loramie State Park Welcomes Life-Saving Program”
Greenville, OH, May 18, 2015 – Nestled into northern Ohio farmland is
one of the state’s finest park facilities, Lake Loramie State Park,
where activities range from boating, swimming, hiking and biking to
hanging around camp with friends and families. As camping season
“officially” kicks off, there will be something new this Memorial Day
weekend, an exciting partnership between Ohio State Parks and the
American Red Cross, offered on site a life-saving class Citizen CPR,
where in thirty minutes participants can learn this compression based
course.
The courses teach you:
Hands Only CPR
Care for choking victims
911 Emergency Services
How to stay safe during emergencies
“Emergencies can happen anywhere, so why not prepare for them
everywhere as well” noted American Red Cross NMVO Executive Director,
Lynne Gump, “The leaders for this class are campers as well, so they
know just what kind of circumstances will effect an emergency
response.”
The course is being offered twice on May 24th, once at 2:00 pm and
again at 2:30. Class will be held in the park maintenance area, picnic
table seating or bring your camp chair. Class is open to those
ten and up; adults will need to accompany their children. Leaders
for this course are: Mary Lane, Don Gilbert, Christian and Christina
Chalmers, all Red Cross volunteers.
