Saturday, Jan. 24:
Hadley Hall, at 18513 59th Ave. NE in Arlington, is offering a basic first aid course from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by a CPR and AED certification class from 1-4 p.m.
Participants in the first aid course can learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of injuries and sudden illness, and receive crucial information about how to deal with emergencies. The cost is $30, or $25 if you’re also taking the CPR class.
The CPR class teaches the chain of survival, activation of 911, emergency response, airway obstruction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

This basic certification conforms to new 2010 national standards, and is based on the same scientific guidelines and treatment recommendations used by the American Heart Association and American Red Cross. The cost is $30.
Both courses are open to adults and youths aged 12 years and older. Register with the Arlington Recreation Department at 360-403-3448.

From 4 to 7 p.m., attendees are invited to grab their girlfriends, work colleagues, sweethearts and sisters, to enjoy the third “Paint & Sip” session. Participants can create paintings while sharing wine, refreshments and laughs. $35 includes all supplies and the first glass of wine.
