Ok here is a creative way to get at least one machine to the Natz next year...and a challenge as well !

If any clubs made money at any of their eVANt's this year, donate some money to the fund.....we will need about 1700.00 all together with training multiple people.....

The machine will then be Vanner expressed wherever possible so it can be at Multiple eVANt's that way...

As well, hopefully the Councils are going to raise money for a machine to go with their members where ever they go..... In that way I hope to see multiple machines at the Natz... the more the merrier

OK, off to a little slow start but have a couple in all ready....Pm me for PayPal address

They are simple to use , the newer ones will walk you through the proces as they give you commands on how to do it .
Doc i'll donate something but i have to get the paypapl account a little fat so i'll look for some items to sell that i'm not using .

Today I finished my AED ( Automated External Defibrillator ) certification and I am upgrading my First Aid training as far as I can go without turning Pro.....

Now we still need to get enough funds together to buy one to have on hand for all eVANt's I am at....still 1400.00 short

I would Give a Good chunk,JUST to give something back to Vanners that have kept this venue alive for All of us, but it would have to be after March, as the winter months are slow for us 1-2 occasionally 3 days a week work and over 1k in out of pocket medical expenses every month prevent doing so until then. Its no secret that even Younger and Healthy individuals Have Heart attacks. Each event should consider, how long it would take a Medical Team to reach their event, to determin how many would be needed.

Well, my instructor gave me a scary stat......A heart attack with only CPR gives you a 10-15 percent chance of a meaningful recovery as you lose heart muscle every minute treatment is delayed..

With an AED available, that rises to 80 %......

Can someone check these stats ???

Regardless, I encourage all Councils to fund one for all their eVANt's...which means we will have a few at the Natz

PS. the training and certification , only cost 15.00 extra when taken in conjunction with the Standard First Aid, and "A" CPR courses....

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, a 60% BETTER chance that your Friend or Spouse will be BE by your side at the next Truckin with an AED on the grounds During a Heart Event is a small investment, with a LARGE Return.

I'll Put my name on the LIST for $100, after March.

Doc have you checked into this? I would think this would work better as each eVANt could rent their own unit and then there wouldnt be the which eVANt is it going to problem...

Checking....thanks Snotty

I have asked my Council, the Ontario Federation of Vanner's, to bring this to the agenda @ the CoC in February.....
