BLS level. $15/person. Register by emailing Wendy at [email protected]. For IVCC Nursing students still looking for a class, this is truly your last opportunity before your August deadline. Class size is limited. So friends, on your mark, get set, get registered!

Attn IVCC Nursing Students: The CPR class for July 15th is full and the class on July 20th only has 4 spots left. This is your LAST chance to get your certification completed through AHA at ORS before your August classes begin. ORS wishes all of the IVCC nursing students well as they continue down the path to a new career!!

Last night the LaSalle County Cruisers presented Ottawa River Rescue Squad with their half of the 50/50 winnings from the car show held on June 19th. The total pot was $5,505 with the winner receiving $2,753! LCC members donated extra to raise our winnings to a total of $2,800!!! We could not be more thankful. The money will be used to buy 3 new cold water suits, harnesses, and ropes for future cold water searches. ORS is 100% donation funded and we absolutely cannot do what we do without the support of the community. Thank you LCC for your support!!
