Wildcat District Agents Become CPR Certified
We are so grateful to Sharolyn Jackson and Sandy Proctor for giving their time to provide CPR/AED Training for our Wildcat District staff! CPR is a skill that is incredibly important to have, but hope you never have to use. Some staff members are being trained for the first time, the first time in a long time, or wanting to brush up their skills after their certification has expired.
