North Cobb Rotary presents a donation to Kennesaw to fund an AED for public events
Summary
North Cobb Rotary presented a monetary donation for an automated external defibrillator (AED) to be carried by city staff at public events; the club and city thanked volunteers and noted the device will improve emergency response capability.
Representatives of the North Cobb Rotary presented a monetary donation to the city at Monday’s meeting to support purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) that city staff will carry to public events.
A Rotary representative invited club members David Swickareth, Deborah Morton and Lau Rimonelli forward for the presentation. "The AED will be carried by city staff from public events ensuring a fast response in the event of a cardiac emergency," a Rotary speaker said. Rotary also noted its ongoing commitment to community safety and said members hoped the device would be used at festivals and other public gatherings.
During remarks a Rotary speaker read an amount that appears in the meeting record as "$18.50 dollars contribution." That figure appears inconsistent with typical AED costs and may be a transcription error; the meeting did not otherwise document the donation amount or funding source. Council and staff thanked the Rotary Club for the gift and for prior community contributions.
Councilmembers expressed appreciation for the donation and the life-saving potential of accessible AEDs. No further action or formal allocation was required; staff accepted the presentation on behalf of the city.
