Mike Rusher, a dedicated firefighter and longtime Wilsonville resident, will present “Help Save a Life.” This important session will focus on how to administer Narcan, also known as naloxone, a medication used to counteract the effects of opioid overdose. Naloxone can quickly restore normal respiration in emergency situations, making it a vital tool in lifesaving efforts.

The Rotary Club of Wilsonville meets weekly Thursdays at noon to carry out its purpose of providing service and fellowship to members and the Wilsonville community. Guests are welcome. Lunch is available off the menu; please arrive and order by 11:45 a.m. if you are ordering lunch. For more information, email president@wilsonvillerotary.com.
