SUMMARY:Free Community AED/Safety Cabinet Training
DESCRIPTION:Community members and local businesses are invited to participate in an upcoming community AED/safety cabinet training designed to increase awareness and confidence in using Automated External Defibrillators (AEDS) during a cardiac emergency along with Naloxone and Stop-the-Bleeds kits during other health emergencies. This training is provided at no cost. \nLast summer\, a volunteer group successfully brought six Community Safety/AED cabinets to downtown Alexandria\, providing greater access to life-saving equipment throughout the community. To build on that effort\, organizers are now offering hands-on training to help residents\, employees\, and community members become familiar with AED operation and emergency response procedures. \nWhile safety cabinets contain easy-to-follow instructions\, hands-on experience is invaluable in helping individuals feel comfortable and prepared to act in a critical situation. Community members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn how these devices work and gain the confidence needed to respond during an emergency. \nThe training will take place in the conference room of The Hub on Broadway located at 203 Broadway St. on Tuesday\, August 25 at 9 am. Enter through the back door label ‘Conference Room’. Training will last about an hour. For additional questions or to register\, email Lauren Johnson at marketing@alexandriamn.org or call the Alexandria Chamber at 320-763-3161. Please include the business you are with\, if applicable\, your first and last name\, contact phone number\, and email address. Spots are limited.

SUMMARY:The Purple Hulls Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Purple Hulls are coming back to Alexandria Covenant Church for a concert! Freewill donations will be accepted. \nBeing born and raised on a working family farm in deep East Texas\, identical red-headed twins Katy Lou and Penny Lea Clark learned the value of hard work and the goodness of country life\, and were blessed to grow up in an environment that cultivated their God given apt for music. With music in their family blood\, it came as little surprise when the twins made their way to study music in college\, and afterward moved to the hills of Tennessee\, where they quickly gained work touring as backing musicians for various country artists\, working for the Grand Ole Opry\, and writing songs for Nashville’s biggest publishing company\, Sony ATV. After five fruitful years in Music City and the Lord leading them back to their home state\, The Purple Hulls continue their travels based from their family farm (where they really grow purple hulls peas!) and for the last twelve years have been sharing their unique and authentic\, uplifting and energetic acoustic driven music with churches\, festivals\, and venues across the horizons of America & Europe. \n6:30 pm | Alexandria Covenant Church
