Be Red Cross Ready: Emergency and Fire Preparedness will be held on Wednesday,
February 21st at 1 PM @ the Old Lyme Town Hall. Everyone knows the Red Cross
helps people during emergencies. But you may not know that it’s also part of our
mission to help you help yourself! Becoming “Red Cross Ready” for an emergency
means following our simple steps in advance to ensure you can weather a crisis safely
and comfortably. Being prepared may not prevent a disaster, but it will give you
confidence to meet the challenge! Join us for this life-education class and learn how
to prepare for a variety of circumstances. Limited space available; the cost is free for
members, 55 years of age or better!
