The American Red Cross Compression Only CPR course will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4,

from 3-4 p.m. at the Sanibel Recreation Center.

The purpose of this American Red Cross course is to teach untrained bystanders how

to perform hands-only CPR. Having more citizen bystanders trained in this simple

skill can help save lives by putting more cardiac arrest victims within a few steps

of lifesaving assistance.

There is no cost for this course but pre-registration is preferred. This is not

a certification course. Participants must bring a valid form of photo identification.

For more information and to register call the Sanibel Recreation Center.

The Sanibel Recreation Center is located at 3880 Sanibel-Captiva Road. Daily, weekly,

semi-annual and annual memberships are available. For more information call (239) 472-0345 or visit www.mysanibel.com.
