Brattleboro Elks Lodge #1499 donates to High School

The Brattleboro Elks Lodge #1499 donated to the Community House High School $500 toward our purchase of an Automated External Defibrillator. Principal Barrett said “This is a huge advancement for our organization and we truly appreciate it.  We want to thank the Elks lodge for a generous donation”.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on-site is a critical safety upgrade that can literally save lives in those first few “golden minutes” of a cardiac emergency.
