🚨It Might Be April Fool's Day, But We Aren’t Fooling Around with Safety on April 1! 🚨

No joke—The Bramble, the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce, and the Town of Erwin are teaming up to bring an American Heart Association Heartsaver® CPR AED Course to our community on April 1, and we want to know if you're interested!

✅ FREE 4-hour class
✅ Certification in CPR on adults, children & infants
✅ Receive your certification card upon successful completion

We’re finalizing the details and want to schedule the class at a time that works best for YOU. Would you be interested? What time would work for you?

Class size is limited and will be first come, first served — but if there’s enough interest, we can schedule multiple sessions. Let us know in the comments or send us a message!
