Item 3: Attention Emergency Services:


All,

Carolyn Owens (Salt Lake Senior Squadron) has offered to teach a
combined CPR/First Aid course in SLC at the wing hq building on
Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m.

Carolyn (and her co-instructor) are certified instructors and this
event goes toward CAP first aid currency requirements for some
mission specialties. (They are volunteering their time and expertise.)

The cost for the course is $20 which covers the course book and
rental of the mannequins required.

There is a limit of 24 students. Confirmation happens when you send
your funds to Valerie Salt, wing administrator. Voice or email
reservations mean nothing. Payment of $20 per person to Utah CAP
reserves you a slot. First-come, first-served. Bring your own lunch.

When we receive 24 paid reservations, I'll let you know via this
discussion group. Questions? Please contact me. Depending on
response, we may see if Carolyn is willing to do another course.

Jerry Wellman
Commander, Utah Wing

Vasquez. Gen. Carr had been serving as the national vice commander
and he replaces Maj. Gen. Amy Courter who had completed her
three-year term as national commander."
