CAMP DEFIBRILLATOR
Camp Defibrillator Committee would like the community know what their money was spent on since they began fund raising in 2009.  Thanks to the generosity of the Camp Community a total of €14,528 was raised.
Initial outlay for the 4 defibrillators and their cabinets was €7,600
Training sessions cost €4,087 in total, 57 Camp residents are now fully trained, many of whom attended the refresher courses.
Replacement batteries and pads and new training equipment have cost approx  €1,475, which is a total of  €13,162.
This leaves €1,366 in the Defibrillator Fund to date.
The new equipment is a trainer defibrillator and a chest dummy for people to practice their chest compressions in CPR.  This equipment will be loaned out to any Camp community group for practice training as long as an adult will take responsibility to take care of the equipment.
To facilitate ongoing CPR and defibrillator training and the maintenance of equipment, there will be a coffee morning and raffle after the 10.30 am Mass on Sunday 22nd July 2012.
