There may be no better time

to learn CPR than this Saturday.

That's when the American

Red Cross will hold adult CPR classes from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Fayette

County High School.

The $10 registration fee includes

a four-hour training class, certification upon passing the test, emergency

preparedness information and demonstration of an Automated External Defibrillator.

Normally, the adult CPR class costs $65.

Pre-registration is required

to lock in a particular class time, officials said. Walk-ins will be accepted

on a limited basis with cash payment as space allows.

Participants can choose from

classes starting between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

To pre-register, call 1-800-733-2767

with a debit or credit card handy for payment. After-hours messages can

be left, with someone returning your call the next business day, organizers

said.

CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation,

is used to help cardiac arrest victims so oxygenated blood can circulate

to vital organs such as the brain and heart.

The CPR Saturday event is presented

of the American Red Cross and other sponsors.

Participants in the adult CPR

class Saturday also receive a 10 percent coupon good for any Red Cross

class booked by April 6.

Participants are urged to wear

loose-fitting clothing. No childcare is available. The class is suitable

for children ages 12 and up.

Anyone wishing to volunteer

at CPR Saturday should call 404-575-3195 for more information.
