IMPORTANT
NOTICE - Price Increases
Effective July 1, 2008
Teaching lifesaving skills in every community is an important
part of the Red Cross mission, so we are committed to keeping
prices as low as possible and increasing the price of only
these teaching resources at this time. The First Aid/CPR/AED
for the Workplace Participant's Workbook was originally offered
at a reduced, introductory promotional price although it contains
significantly more content - nearly double the number of pages
than the previous edition. The Babysitter's Training Handbook
is a newly developed product under the course revision and
is scheduled for release April 30, 3008.
