Community Emergency Response Team

On Dec. 8, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) celebrated a year of monthly informational meetings and the graduation of 28 new CERT-trained LW residents. This service club helps residents prepare for and cope with an emergency as outside aid may not be available. President Catherine O’Brien was applauded for her leadership and for making CERT meetings and classes entertaining and fun, as well as informative.

CERT meetings are open to all LW residents and are held on the last Friday of the month at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. Every month, there is a chance to win an emergency preparation prize. The next meeting will be on Jan. 26 with the theme “Family Emergency Communication.”
