Banks donate to AED fundraiser after Friends group outreach
The COA received an update on fundraising for an automated external defibrillator (AED). J. Cappe said letters from the Friends group requested $500 from each of the four major local banks to help cover the cost of an AED.

Country Bank and North Brookfield Bank each donated $500. Cappe reported that Monson Bank offered to cover any remaining balance toward the purchase. The Friends group initiated outreach to local banks as part of the center's equipment-safety upgrades.

No specific total AED cost was recorded in the minutes and the COA did not yet name a vendor for the device.
