Egg My Yard
Apr 3 @ 7:00 pm – 11:45 pm

What’s better than waking up with the kids on Easter morning to discover your yard is covered in brightly colored, candy and trinket filled eggs? Not having to sneak outside and scatter eggs yourself without getting caught is certainly a big help!

For a $50 donation, Friends of Loudoun County Animal Services will deliver 30 eggs to your yard on Saturday night and place them in an area designated by you. They will text you before arrival to let you know they’re on the way, and again when they’re leaving so you know the job is done.

The bunny helpers are stuffing eggs now in preparation for the big night! Sign up now to secure your spot and to support a good cause!

Free Community Event: Stop the Bleed Workshop @ Cascades Library
Nov 15 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm

During an emergency, no matter how quickly emergency professionals respond, the individuals on-scene are best positioned to assist and potentially stop life-threatening blood loss. This is critical because a person who is bleeding profusely can die from blood loss within five minutes.

As part of the national Stop the Bleed campaign, the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital hosts free courses designed for community members who may find themselves at the scene of an emergency. Course attendees will enhance their emergency preparedness by learning the difference between bleeding and life-threatening blood loss, and how to react to both.

Complete an online education course at your convenience, and then join INOVA staff on Monday, Nov. 15 for an in-person skills training workshop where you’ll experience hands-on practice with tourniquets and wound packing. Practicing these skills will give you a deeper understanding of what it means to Stop the Bleed and the confidence to help someone in an emergency.

Cascades Library
Meeting Room B
21030 Whitfield Pl.
Potomac Falls, VA 20165

Please note: Completion of both the online education and in-person skills training course are required to be fully trained in Stop the Bleed. The link to the online education is: www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course
