ADVISORY BOARD HIGHLIGHTS

SEPTEMBER 21,2017

• The question was raised about whether there is a defibulator in the Country Club. There is not one on site. It is not a cost issue, but a time issue. There is only a 5-minute window to be effective. By the time the defibulator was taken out on the course, too much time would have elapsed.
