[Noisebridge-discuss] First Aid and CPR classes: get certified at Noisebridge

[Christie Dudley]

I think it would be a great community service if we were to have an AED in
the space, available to the entire local community, should the need arise.
There are no gyms or shopping malls or sports facilities in the area where
they're likely to have them.

Although it doesn't require a real AED to do that training, it does involve
a device who's lights blink in a certain sequence and stuff.  I don't think
Michael has one of these tucked in with all his CPR dummies.

Why I take the road less traveled?  Oh, that's easy.  I'm claustrophobic.
