Monitoring Responsibilities An updated print out of our monitoring instructions is available on our website, under the glass at the front desk, in the front of the monitoring notebook, and in the wire basket at the club. Please take time to read this before you come to perform your yearly duty at the club. ICE: In Case of Emergency Ice is a method of contact during emergency situations. A paramedic realized that at scenes of accidents mobile phones were always with patients, but he didn t know which number to contact. His idea was to name a contact in your phone ICE, and list the number as your emergency contact person. The paramedics and hospital staff would know who to contact. This great idea is now circulating on the Internet nationally. I have an ICE contact in my phone now. Won t you join me? Special thanks to Diane Perry for alerting me to this message. First Aid Kit There is a first aid kit in a brightly colored box located in the lower, left-hand corner of the monitor's desk. The 2018 membership directories are now available. Please pick up your copy from the monitor the next time you come to the club. Change to the directory: On page 2, under Friday's Key Monitor, please change Marilyn Cunningham's phone number to 916-365-7795. Her name also appears on page 10.
