CPR AND AED AWARENESS      
Presented by Bill Fitzpatrick, RN 
Bill is an RN and currently teaches EMT and Pharmacology at LBCC. He is an AHA CPR instructor and has taught many classes both for certification and for general knowledge.

With a half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person’s breathing or heart stops. Why Is CPR Important? Keeping the blood flow active – even partially – extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site. Bill F. is donating time to teaching others how to save a life using CPR and AED.

HOW DOES THE ELECTION IMPACT FINANCES?
Presenter: John Pak

With the elections behind us, you may be wondering what it means for your money. Is there anything you should be doing differently, financially? It is natural to be concerned when new leadership takes over the White House. Usually, each party brings along their own brand of solutions to address age-old economic issues like inflation, unemployment and retirement related topics like healthcare and social security. We’ll take a look at the fate of the sunsetting provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. John will share tips on how to survive the uncertainty and manage your finances with confidence regardless of a Democratic or Republican presidency.
