On March 25, 2016 our speaker at Lincoln South Rotary Club was Lincoln's Public Safety Director Tom Casady who told us about a life-saving CPR assistant, Pulse Point which is an app that can be installed on smart phones. The app connects the phone to the Lincoln Fire & Rescue (LFR) call center to show the location of cardiac arrest calls throughout the city. The goal is to get someone there to help as quickly as possible since minutes count when it comes to surviving a heart attack. The app also shows where the nearest defibrillator (AED) is located. He told of a recent incident at an elementary school where a 5th grader stopped breathing. 2 strangers showed up at the door who had the app on their phone and told them where they could find the nearest AED.
Mark your calendars for the Salute to Business event on Tuesday April 5, 2016. This event is sponsored by all 4 Lincoln Rotary clubs and honors a local business which has contributed to job growth in the community.
The luncheon will be held at the Cornhusker Hotel and Nelnet has been selected as the honoree this year.
