Our neighborhood in Pennecamp (Jacaranda Island) has this program. It was presented at our first social by a former ER nurse. They asked for donations (no set amt) and volunteers to be responders. Most of the neighborhood went to the CPR classes held by Gail Lazenby and we were certified. Our neighborhood has 3 AED's and 30 responders. This should be presented to your neighborhood either at a social, driveway party or some other large neighborhood gathering. A single person going door to door raises suspicions and will not generate much support for the program. It is more than donating money. You need volunteers to make it work.
