Adult and Pediatric CPR and AED Class

[Mike Evans]

Hey cycling friends - 

Mike and I would like to give back to our cycling community by gifting an Adult and Pediatric CPR and AED class through the American Red Cross.

We are so grateful to Emily who saved Mike's life by initiating CPR, honestly, some things are beyond words!

Looking for 15-members of the Owatonna Bicycling Club who are interested in learning CPR and having a fun few hours together. Even if you know CPR, please come!

Plan would be to schedule the CPR Certification Course on Saturday morning, either March 7th or March 14th (before the outdoor riding season begins).

We have been in contact with the American Red Cross - Rochester, and class length is 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Again, this would be our gift as a way of giving back to the the Owatonna Cycling Community.

At this time we are just gauging interest - are you interested? If yes, please reply to this email (no obligation now), and if we have fifteen folks who want to receive Certification in Adult and Pediatric CPR and AED, we will get it scheduled.

Details:

Class would be held in Owatonna

Date would be March 7th or March 14th from 8:30 am to noonish

We need to provide the training space (1000 sq ft, but should be pretty easy)

If more than 15 folks are interested, we will cover the additional costs if we have the extra space (minimum space needed for fifteen folks is 1,000 sq ft)

Thank you!

Mike and Mary Ellen Evans

I am interested.  Been wanting to do this for a while now and would even be willing to pay my portion.  I will be out of town for a work trip on March 7th, so I'm out if you land on that date.

I didn't hear about Mike's ordeal, so I hope everything is OK!!

I would be very interested in recertification, as mine will expire in 2026. I would be willing to ask Parks & Recreation if they would be willing to donate space for the class if you'd like. Based on the longstanding partnership with Trails Association, they may be willing.

Mike and Mary Ellen,

This is a very generous gift.  Mike, I hadn't heard about this.  I'm so glad to hear you are doing okay.  I would like to offer the training room (It's very nice) at Climate By Design here in town for the group if it can be arranged for March 14 or later.  I will be out of town March 7.  If you would like to see the space or have other questions, please reach out to me at 507-456-4129.

Regards,

Patrick McDermott

Mary Ellen and Mike,

Thank you for initiating this. My name is Ross Leuning. I didn't ride much with the group but am still on the email chain. If possible, I'd very much like to join in this training and pitch in my share to cover the cost. I periodically get certified but I am overdue. Great idea.
