CPR & Lifesaving Skills Refresher

9:30 to 12 noon

 

Come join other PWC members and our instructor, Linda Bosma, as she covers CPR, AED, choking, basic first aid and caring for an unconscious victim. Since it is not a full 8 hour course, no certificate will be awarded, but since you are most likely to aid a friend or family member, there is some good value in the refresher!

Leap Year Lunch

Wednesday, 29 February  

11:30

  

Remember the old children's rhyme... ever catch yourself saying under your breath... 

 

                        Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November; 
 February has twenty eight alone 
All the rest have thirty-one 
Except in Leap Year, that's the time 
When February's Days are twenty-nine

 

It only comes once every 4 years!  Leap Years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolution around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days to circle once around the sun.

 

Join us for lunch with friends as we celebrate an extra day in February.
