CHARITY OF THE YEAR

This year the club is raising funds for a Defibrillator to be purchased & installed at the club

Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (VF) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (VT). A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a countershock) to the heart.

Having a Defibrillator can be life saving.... please give generously.
