San Juan Island Grange #966 invites the community to “Help Is on the Way,” a Third Thursdays Supper & Lecture Series program focused on practical first aid and emergency care skills that can help save lives while Emergency Medical Services are en route. This free event takes place Feb. 19, doors open at 5 p.m. Homemade soups and fresh bread will be provided.

The evening will feature Assistant Chief T.J. Bishop of San Juan Island EMS, who will share clear, evidence-based guidance on what to do in a medical emergency — including when to call 911, how to remain calm, and how to provide appropriate care until professional help arrives. The presentation is designed for all ages and experience levels and reflects the realities of emergency response in a rural island community.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and a community supper will be served before the presentation and discussion. The event supports the Grange’s ongoing commitment to community resilience.

All are welcome.
