There will be snacks for humans, as well. And we encourage you to bring pet food donations for local pet food banks.

Celebration has an AED

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, Celebration Lutheran Church was able to purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). On June 4, we were joined after worship by Chardon Fire Department Captain Blauch and Fire Fighter Lawrence, who gave members a refresher in CPR and instruction in how to use the AED. They also encouraged participants to register with the PulsePoint network, which alerts CPR- and AED-trained individuals when someone nearby is experiencing Sudden Cardiac Arrest, so that they might be able to start emergency measures before EMTs arrive. Thank you to everyone who participated!
