Fellowship and refreshments to follow.
Life Saver Bracelet Project – Project Lifesaver provides law enforcement and first responders with a much quicker way of locating “wanders” suffering from cognitive disabilities. These include Down’s syndrome, Autism, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and more.
Now efforts are focused on raising funds to buy bracelets for those who cannot afford them. To learn more visit www.projectlifesaver.org, or contact Samantha McDorr, smcdorr@hotmail.com.
Brunswick organizers have raised $7,000 for the system to be installed in 2014. With the equipment comes training on how to use the system and also how to approach and communicate with those who may need assistance. The child or adult simply wears a bracelet or anklet that has a radio chip imbedded in it.
This chip sends a signal to the equipment at the police department which helps them locate the person in minutes instead of hours, or longer, searching. This results both in safer conditions and cost savings. Donations may be made out directly to “Project Lifesaver International” with “Brunswick, ME” in the memo line.
