Hey folks-

John and Mike (Mulligan) have put together an an amazing 7-hour first aid and CPR program (http://portlandvelo.net/content/FirstAidandCPRClassNotice.aspx) for Portland Velo members. The date is Sunday, March 9 at Madison's Grill (in the ballroom) and participants will walk out certified in both CPR and First Aid.

This is not a mandatory training for our ride leaders, but I strongly encourage your participation as one more tool in your toolkit for overseeing and leading safe group rides. To that end, Portland Velo, along with Mike Mulligan and Lori Bocklund, will refund the first 20 registrants $20 (normal price is $60, first 20 registrants will have $20 refunded at the door). A 7-hour class dedicated to Velo and customized for cycling-related incidents is a bargain enough, when you consider that it includes breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. $40 is a steal.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact John ASAP. 

Cheers-
Carlo

Sounds good Carlo. I'm signed up.

Looking forward to it! 

This is a great oppertunity for ride leaders and anyone else wanting to get certified!

Thank you for arranging the 1st Aid/CPR Class. I just registered. Motivated by just seeing a rider down on the Worst Day ride - slippery painted neighborhood speed bump near Tanasbrook. A nurse stopped and help arrived shortly. Head bump. He was laying calmly.

If you are interested and want in on the discounted price - sign up now!  This offer will be extended beyond Portland Velo in the next few days.

So, how many people are signed up now? 

I do not yet have a count of how many people have bought in.

For those who have paid via the PayPal button - We are aware that there is a payment transaction error, and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.  I will provide an update once new information is available.

The payment button has been fixed.

If you have paid, and received an 'Unclaimed" funds email from paypal - you will need to do the following:

Log in to your PayPal account, View & Cancel the Unclaimed transaction

Go back to the Portland Velo home page, and resubmit your payment.  If you have any questions or concerns about this, please post here or contact me at traci @ portlandvelo.net

You may not receive an "Unclaimed" funds email.  I didn't.  Log into paypal and check your account status, just in case.

I did not receive an "Unclaimed" funds email and had an Unclaimed charge too. Thanks for the heads up, Lynne.

 Paypal sent me an "unclaimed" funds email last night. Thanks for the resolution steps, Traci.

Looking forward to the class.  Thanks for setting this up. 

I didn't realize my paypal transaction was "unclaimed" until I read this.  I will cancel & re-submit it now.  Originally I signed up on Feb. 11, so will I not get the discount deal?

Linda, I'll give you my discount.

Cheers-
Carlo
