Be Prepared – You just might save someone’s life!

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone – anywhere. Immediate treatment is vital, and a victim’s chance of survival dramatically decreases for every minute without treatment. According to the American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines, when bystanders provide CPR and use an AED to deliver a shock within 3 minutes of collapse, before emergency services arrive, survival rates can increase as high as 74%.

HM Quiet Reading Club

This Club is loosely modeled on the Silent Book Club movement with thousands of Chapters worldwide. Here are our simple guidelines: We meet for an hour of quiet reading of any book we choose to bring, including on a kindle or handheld device. Unlike a traditional book club, there is no book chosen or assigned by us. After that, those who wish to stay for an additional half hour to share their reading choices and recommendations, or general love of reading, are welcome to do so.
