Ohl Jr. Charitable Trust, Wells Fargo Trustee, to provide an entry-level infant, child, and adult CPR course free of charge to the community for three consecutive years. The “CPR Anytime” program will enable participants from the area to enroll, complete the course, and obtain a certificate of completion. This training will help participants to feel confident in an emergency situation where CPR is needed, and as a collective community benefit, the training will increase awareness of life-saving techniques for adults and children. Participants will receive adult and infant CPR training mannequins and self-study DVD kits. After participants learn the skills, they are encouraged to use the kits to teaching family and friends. The course will be coordinated by Elaine Peneno, RN, MPH, a certified CPR instructor who is a member of CHCC Clinical Education Department. For further details about the dates, call the Christian Health Care Center at (201) 848-4300. CHCC is located at 301 Sicomac Avenue in Wyckoff. In January 2010 CHCC obtained a grant from the Richard and Loretta Stratton Charitable Foundation to provide free CPR training to 29 lay community members. This program was extremely well received and 25 people remain on a waiting list for the next class. Immigration experience to be discussed The Genealogical Society of Bergen County will present “Destination America: The People and Cultures that Created a Nation -- The Golden Door & The Art of Departure” on Monday, July 25. The program will be held at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at the Ridgewood Public Library, 125 North Maple Avenue in Ridgewood. Part one of this video focuses on the world the immigrants left behind, the roots that defined them, and the hardships and ambitions that made, and continues to make, America their destination. From the time the U.S. government began keeping official records in 1820, more than 70 million people have immigrated to the United States. The migration began as a trickle, and the trickle became a flood, becoming the largest migration to a single country in human history. The society’s meetings are free and open to the public.
