Reminder: Snow Day at Reynier Park – 12-18-22
RVNA Disaster First Aid with Marci Sandell – 6/30/19!
Neighbors joined together at Reynier Park on a Sunday afternoon to learn Disaster First Aid techniques from Marci Sandell, EMT, CERT, Citizen Police Officer. Marci’s entertaining style is both fun and informative. She covered several important topics including various types of bleeds and how to stop them; improvised splinting for upper and lower limbs; identifying shock and how to address it; triaging people according to medical need and much more! RVNA is committed to helping neighbors prepare for emergencies.
Ice Cream Social At Reynier Park
A fun afternoon of ice cream treats, watermelon, fun games and activities for kids and family.
We had so many positive successes yesterday: the crafts area with the pet rocks, the ice cream and watermelon, the tattoos, the SORONC booth with all of the park photos and people sharing their preferences and taking the survey, the RVNA booth with lots of outreach to our neighbors and new sign-ups for our email list, and, lots of folks enjoying the Drum Circle! I’m not sure if the rest of you were there to see the water balloon toss and the 3-legged race (hilarious), but I think Angelica and I really enjoyed seeing the kids have so much fun (see photos below)
Altogether a great day and congratulations to all of us for helping to create a fun opportunity for neighbors to come together!
RVNA board will meet sometime in the next few weeks to discuss the event and assess our RVNA survey results!
