Preparedness and First-Aid for Hiking the Villages
Matt Kelly and Kris Carlsen
Foothill Center on Monday, April 27th at 7:00 PM
As we enjoy the natural wonders of our trails inside the Villages or take outside excursions we need to be prepared for emergencies – both in our training and the supplies we carry. Accompanying these activities are the risks of falls, sprains, strains, sore knees & ankles, heat exhaustion, poison oak, ticks, animal encounters and medical emergencies.
The Villages Hiking Club’s April 27th meeting will feature a presentation on preparedness, communications and first-aid related to hiking and walking by Matt Kelly, Vice President, LIONHEART SAFETY, LLC. Matt has 22 years of experience as a SJFD Fire Captain, Hazardous Materials Specialist, EMT and Fire Academy Liaison. He is the son of Hiking Club member Manoli Kelly.
The program will follow a short business meeting and a break for socializing with snacks and beverages.
The meeting will be held at the Foothill Center on Monday, April 27th at 7:00 PM. The meeting is free and all Villagers are welcome to attend.
