Sounds like this may be an opportunity for you to step up and get involved...
call Bob Sjogren at Public Safety (352.674.2934) he'll be able to tell you if you have an active coordinator for the group you belong to, if there are any people trained in CPR and how you can get trained in CPR
the life you save may be your own, your spouses, or even folks visiting you....
