The class is divided into groups and each group is tasked with brainstorming, developing, and executing a project
throughout the eight month course. In brainstorming how our group can fulfill a need in our community, it was brought
to our attention that there is a need for more lifesaving AEDs (automated external defibrillator) in our county.

Currently, there is no AED at the Henry County Fairgrounds, there is one AED shared by the County Sheriff’s office patrol
vehicles, and some of the fire departments in parts of the county do not have one. With the vast geography of our
county as well as our distance from major hospitals, we felt that this is a major need!

Our first priority will be to place an AED at the fairgrounds due to the large number of visitors per year for the World’s Biggest Fish Fry, the Henry County Fair, and other events. With additional money raised, we will then look to ensure fire stations in the county are all
equipped.
