Bag Lady

I was so excited this week when the shipment with my new Red Cross Bag finally arrived at the office. I have been salivating over them since they were released a few months ago. This handy little pouch can be ordered with or without the first aid kit included.



It is great because while sporting the RC logo, it has three sections and the middle one has an inner zipper for the first aid kit. This is more divisions than some purses!

I went for the empty option; I had plans for it.

I started thinking about the all the possible uses of this wonderful little bag. I have listed them in case anyone would find it helpful but know that this is only scratching the surface:

children's toys
coupons
dentures
first aid kit
jewelry
Journey’s greatest hits on cassette*
makeup
markers
medication
mid afternoon snack
nail care set
office supplies
pocket change
power tools
Red Cross certification cards
small dogs
smuggled candy for the movies**
sunglasses

The possibilities are really endless. I’ve opted to use mine as a makeup bag. If you would like to put your creative storage skills to good use please let us know. You can be a Red Cross bag lady (or gentleman) too.

Don't be LOST on your CPR Skills

My obsession with LOST started about the middle of Season 3. With only one season left, I decided that it would be good if I started at the beginning and got 'caught up' on all the episodes.

It was to my utter horror one day to watch as one of the main characters performed CPR on an unconscious person.



What is he doing? He would not have passed a Red Cross CPR class.

If you would like to learn how to perform CPR correctly we have classes every week. We can't guarantee that you will ever be plane-wrecked on an island in the pacific where you can put them to good use, but maybe you can help save a life here at home.
