Emergency Preparedness Class at Milagros on May 24

Posted May 20th, 2011 in Classes | Tags: , | Comments Off

The earthquake in Japan has a lot of families wondering how to prepare for natural disasters in Portland. In response, Milagros partnered with the Red Cross to present a free disaster preparedness workshop in April.

The response to that class was very high and we have had many requests to do it again, so we are!

The next Red Cross emergency preparedness class at Milagros is  Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30pm.  The class is free but space is limited, so sign-up for the class via rsvp is required. To reserve a slot in the class, send an email to rsvp@milagrosboutique.com

Milagros also hosts New Parent CPR Classes presented by the Red Cross.
