With the winter months upon us, an uncertain economy and a continuing fluctuation in fuel prices, the Town of Lyme’s Social Services Director is anticipating higher-than-normal requests this year for energy-assistance support from local families in need. Lyme residents can help their neighbors by making a charitable contribution to this fund by sending a check – made out to “Emergency Assistance Fund” – to Attention: Social Services, Lyme Town Hall, 480 Hamburg Road, Lyme, CT 06371. All contributions are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. (The emergency fund is for Lyme residents only.)

On Monday, Feb. 27, at 1:00 p.m., at the Lymes’ Senior Center, the center will offer a free training session in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), which will be led by two local emergency medical technicians (EMTs), Colleen Atkinson and Doug LoPresti. The training session will explain how to recognize when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest and how to use this type of defibrillator. The EMTs will also demonstrate how to use hands-only CPR integrated with the use of an AED while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. The program is free and open to the public. To register for the free event, please call the senior center at 860-434-4127.
