CPR for the Professional Rescuer Course

While not required for this course, most patrols require a CPR certification, typically the course "CPR for the Professional Rescuer".  Joanne Barnes (of the Alpine Meadows Ski Patrol) has kindly agreed to conduct a course for us.  Her class will be conducted through the American Red Cross, at their Palo Alto facility on Saturday, August 24.  Students interested (which is likely all of you), should go to http://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/course-class000000003956102 to register for the course.
