The Allegany County Area Foundation recently awarded a $500
grant to both the Cuba Circulating Library and the Cuba Friends of
Architecture. These two non-profit organizations will both use the money to
help them purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED). An AED is a portable system that checks the
heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a
normal rhythm. Sudden cardiac arrest is
a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating.
Dr. Michael Doyle, President of the Cuba Friends of Architecture, explained that their AED will be placed in the performance area of the Palmer Opera House. The AED will also be available to the businesses located on the first floor of the building.
Leah Weber, the Cuba Circulating Library Director, said they would advertise their location as an AED site which will not only benefit their patrons, but the community at large. The library also plans to offer free training to all library staff and volunteers, providing them with First Aid/CPR/AED certification.
The Allegany County Area Foundation holds assets over 9 million dollars and continues to add new funds each year. The endowed funds continue to grow in perpetuity to enrich and improve the lives of our Allegany County citizens. If you would like more information on how you can provided a legacy of hope and good will in our community, please contact the Allegany County Area Foundation at 585-808-8444.
