From the desk of the District Educator,
 
Winter Warm-up was a great time for everyone. The Rider Ed team was very busy at the RE table, seminars and selling raffle tickets and first aid kits. The District has bought 50 special motorcycle first aid kit designed for motorclycliest. A pretty good kit that can fit into any saddle bad or trunk for a reasonable price of $25. For more information contact Dan Ribbing. Raffle tickets sales exceeded my expectations. The extra funds will be used the offset the cost of training new riding coaches. I want to thank everyone who bought tickets and for supporting Rider Education. Riding courses in the northern part of our state have filled up fast. There is still room for the trike class but as of now we have filled two ARC classes and may add a third if needed. I am pleased that our member have registered early this year. It makes it so much easier for the the Team to adjust where needed to meet the demand. Check below for courses listed. Thanks again for your support.

Automated External Defibrillator ( AED ). This piece of medical equipment is now in the possession of the District Educator. Specific guidelines have been developed. Unlike the AED that may hang on the wall of a public location to be used by the well intending citizen our AEDs use is restricted and monitored. Restricted by the United States Food & Drug Administration, Illinois Revised Statues and the Illinois Department of Health.
 
Policy and procedure of use:
  1. The AED's over-site must be established with the domicile EMS System Resource Hospital. That means that Steve has to establish a liaison with his local hospital so that a defendable paper trail is a matter of public record of it's maintenance and usage.
  2. Only individuals recognized by the organization through documented training and certification can use this device. Currently members of the District Staff who have taken the MFA ( CPR & First Aid ) course and were current have been certified for AED use.
  3. When our AED is present at one of our functions the local EMS ( Fire Department ) must be notified. Currently, it is the Staff position that the AED will be present at all major District Sponsored events. It's presence at any other gathering will be reviewed by the staff on a case by case bases.
  4. Should the AED be used, it's usage follows a very specific protocol of notification, paperwork and subsequent documentation.
The purchase of the Automated External Defibrillator was a substantial undertaking by the previous administration. The continuing efforts of this administration and those that follow to maintain, train and use this piece of medical equipment shows the high degree of integrity of GWRRA and it's membership.
 
As you can see the AED's purchase has not been taken lightly and it is now part of the Illinois District of GWRRA.
