The Red Dress Ball, with the theme “stayin alive” will be held on February 23, 2013 at the Kuhlman Center.  The Ball supports the purchase of AEDs – which are given to community organizations. If an AED is not available, the American Heart Assocation reminds us that hands only CPR can be administered to someone in cardiac arrest – of course…to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive”.
