Rtn. Jim Merchant delivered a very special Rotary Moment of Gratitude and Positivity. Today is Heart Safe Day in Iowa City, celebrating and recognizing our community partners – City of Iowa City, City of Coralville, Community Foundation of Johnson County, and the Johnson County Ambulance Service. Our club hopes to resume CPR and AED training next year. During the pandemic, the Heart Safe Initiative has worked with partners to distribute more AEDs in our community. Tonight, there is a reception to recognize and thank their donors at Midwest One Bank. The Rotary Kerber HeartSafe Initiative all began with a $10,000 grant from Rotary.
